Never prepared or eaten turnips like this before. The turnips were prepared and served just as mashed potatoes would. I used a couple of red potatoes to add a bit of starch, per the recipe I followed, but I'd likely use russet the next time around. The taste was great but they were just a bit too soft and watery for my liking. They were used as a base for some lingonberry braised authentic German bratwursts. I've always thought the scandinavians were a bit loopy with combining meat with a jam. They're loopy for other reasons but I at least get the lingonberry obsession now.
