• 1 lb (450g) potato, boiled
• 1 lb (450g) turnips, boiled
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 2 oz (50 g) butter or margarine
• note: I like to also add 1 or 2 carrots for colour

Boil the potatoes and turnips (and carrots) separately and let them dry in a colander over the stove. Then mash them together with the butter or margarine ensuring an even mix, stir in the chopped chives, season to taste, put into a hot dish and serve very hot. This is traditionally served with Haggis.
