Mashed Turnips

Wash and pare the turnips deeply enough to remove the fibrous layer which lies about 1/8 to 1/4 inch beneath the skin. Slice or quarter and put to cook in boiling water. Cook uncovered. When almost done, which will require from 45 minutes to 2 hours time, add salt and finish cooking. Drain, mash and add 1 tablespoon butter to each pint of mashed turnips.
