Author Notes
If it's been an especially snowy winter, we find turnips in the garden left over from the fall when the snow melts, as sweet and white as they were in November. However, these over-wintered turnips have tired tops. John discards the tops and adds the turnips to mashed potatoes for a more interesting, tangy taste. —GMA8.5
