Mashed Potatoes - Alternatives

Mashed potatoes are lovely and satisfying. But having them on a daily basis would get a little old. So if you are a mashed potato die hard, but would like to switch things up a little, here are some interesting alternatives I found out about today:

Sweet Potato: Try adding mashed bananas, coconut milk or orange juice.

Cauliflower: Roast in an oven or steam, mash and add greek yogurt or sour cream.

Turnips: These have a more robust flavor than potatoes. Peel, wash, and quarter them. Boil 35-45 min. Drain water. For 7 large turnips, add 1 cup of milk with 2 Tbsp of Butter. Blend and add salt and pepper...actually sounds kinda yummy for a turnip!
