  • 100 g Meat, pork, smoked bacon

  • 60 g Butter, unsalted

Add enough cold water to cover the vegetables by two fingers, add salt, and place on the stove. Wait for it to boil, then reduce the heat and cook for another 20 minutes.

  2. Cut the bacon into thin and narrow slices. Heat a pan with a little oil and fry the bacon while stirring for 5 minutes. The bacon should be crispy and browned.

  3. Drain the cooked potatoes and turnips and transfer them to a bowl. Add butter and pepper, and immediately mash the hot vegetables until you get a smooth mash without lumps.

  4. Divide the mash onto plates and sprinkle with the fried bacon. Serve.
