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.
