Ingredients

• 2 large Turnips
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Peel the turnips and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add a pinch of salt. Add the turnip cubes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the turnips are fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the turnips thoroughly in a colander, ensuring they are well-drained to prevent watery creamed potatoes.

Step 4

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the heavy cream and cream cheese to the pan, stirring constantly until the cream cheese has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cream mixture. Stir to fully incorporate the seasonings.

Step 6

Return the drained turnips to the pan, and use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the turnips until they reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Stir the mashed turnips into the cream mixture until fully combined.

Step 8

Cook over low heat for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh chives.

Step 10

Serve immediately, topped with additional chives if desired.
