Cut and peel potatoes , plus one or two turnips into small chunks.
Bring to the boil in a pan and gently boil until tender when fork tested.
Drain the water off and add a couple of decent size nobs of butter, some freshly milled black pepper, a pinch of salt or two, a splash of milk and then mash them well together.
Its a lovely turnipy flavored mash that works wonders as a sausage, mash and gravy accompaniment. Just need the runner beans to grow bigger now

If you make it with swede (or better still the harder type of turnip sold for stockfeed) in Orkney they call that 'Clapshot', and it is delicious! Makes an interesting topping for a cottage pie as well.
