A Recipe Called Clapshot

I had an abundance of turnips and did not know what to make with them. Chris and I had tried roasting them in the past with poor results. So, when we got a new crop in, I googled turnip recipes and Clapshot came up. It is a Scottish recipe that is SO easy and tasty. It creates a light and fluffly, very easily digested mash potato-ish dish.

All you need is:
3 or 4 regular potatoes
4 or 5 turnips
about 15 or 20 carrots
Soy or what we used, Coconut Creamer
salt, pepper

You boil the potatoes and turnips, whole or roughly chopped, and steam the carrots until soft. Then, add in vegetables to a food processor and add creamer, salt, pepper. Blend well. Alternatively, you could mash them by hand for a rougher texture though I had trouble mashing the carrots so I went with the food processor instead. It was really good!
