*Tatties and Neeps*
Serves 4

Pretty basic.  Pretty tasty.  Yum, yum!

1 lb potatoes  (You want a nice and floury type, such as a Maris Piper)
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 lb. neeps (depends where you come from whether you call them turnips or swedes)
1 heated tablespoon of butter or dripping
salt and pepper to taste

Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks.  Place in a pan of lightly salted water and bring to the boil.  Cook for 15 minutes or so until tender.  Drain well.

Peel the swede and cut into small chunks.  Place in a pan of lightly salted water and bring to the boil. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until quite tender.  Drain well.

(I usually cook the two things at the same time so that they are hot at the same time, starting the swede a bit before the potatoes)

Place the cooked potato and the swede into the same pan and mash them very well together, adding salt, pepper and butter.  Stir in the chopped chives.  Serve hot.
