Yield Makes 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, melted
8 Bosc pears, peeled, quartered, cored
5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 pounds white turnips, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine honey, lemon juice, and melted butter in large bowl. Add pears; toss to coat. Arrange pears in single layer on large rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast pears 30 minutes. Turn pears to coat with juices and roast until very tender, about 35 minutes longer. Transfer pears and caramelized liquids to food processor; blend until smooth. (Pear puree can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Cook potatoes and turnips in separate large pots of generously salted water until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain well. Transfer turnips to processor; puree until smooth. Mash potatoes with room-temperature butter in large bowl until smooth. Stir in pureed turnips. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm in microwave before continuing.)
  • Rewarm pear puree. Place potato-turnip mixture in large serving bowl. Swirl in pear puree and serve.

I followed the recipe exactly and my mashed potatoes turned out lumpy. Not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

Not a fan of turnips, but this recipe changed my mind. The roasted pears really mellowed out the flavor and made them enjoyable. Will definitely be making this again.

These mashed potatoes and turnips with roasted pear puree were an absolute delight! The flavors blended perfectly, and the roasted pear added a subtle sweetness that balanced out the earthiness of the turnips. Will definitely be making this again!
