1 hr 10 min
Ingredients
- 4-5 Cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 4 medium sized or 5 smaller yukon gold potatoes, peeled about 80 percent and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 turnips peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/4 cup milk, more if desired to make thinner
- 1 Tablespoon of softened or melted butter
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat over to 375. Place garlic cloves in a small packet of foil with a drizzle of olive oil. Bake for about 25 minutes or until very soft. While garlic is roasting, boil potatoes, sweet potatoes, and turnips in a large pot of water for about 20-25 minutes until softened. Drain and return to pot. Add in remaining ingredients and mash with a potato masher until soft and well incorporated, but still leaving a few lumps for texture.
Notes
- Potatoes tend to be high in pesticide residue. Try buying organic potatoes, which tend to be cheaper if you buy them in the bulk bags.
