Black Horse and...

Clapshot. It sounds like something you might have gotten after taking a bargirl home and forgetting to use you-know-whats.

Now, it is something really rather simple. In fact, a couple of Thanksgivings ago I decided throwing turnips into a pot of potatoes and mashing the lot seemed innovative, but it seems the Scots got there long before I did, so I don't get naming rights by a couple hundred years.

Clapshot
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour
Servingf size 6-8 people

Ingredients:
1 lb potatoes, peeled and cut into 2" pieces
1 lb turnips, peeled and cut into 2" pieces
8 chives, chopped
2 tbsp butter
pepper and salt to taste

Cooking:

In a large pot, boil the potatoes and turnips until soft. Drain, and mash together with the butter and chives.

For additional flavor, you can add celeriac and parsnip to the boiling proces, and pureed onion and garlic to the mashing stage.
