"If there were only turnips and potatoes in the world, someone would complain that plants grow the wrong way."
-Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, Physicist

This is a super simple side dish that has it all. Sweet and a bit bitter, creamy, and a bit salty, this is a perfect replacement for mashed potatoes with all the comfort food goodness but more fiber and lots of calcium and Vitamin C.
