Equipment

  • Stovetop
  • Large Pot
  • Small Saucepan
  • Colander

Ingredients

  • 4 Turnips Large; peeled and cubed
  • 1 Potato Russet potato; peeled and cubed
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter

Instructions

  • In a large pot of cold salted water, bring the turnips and potatoes to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer, until soft and tender- about 20 minutes.
