Clapshot (An Orcadian Potato and Yellow Turnip/ Swede/ Rutabaga
By: Mille® ™
Jan 6, 2002
While attending Edinburgh University years ago, I had a flatmate from the Orkney Islans. He cooked this stuff fairly often because it was dirt cheap to make. Now I cook it because most new dinner guests have never even heard of it, never mind eaten it.
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb potato
- 1 lb turnip (preferably yellow turnip)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped chives
- butter
- milk
- salt and pepper
Directions
1
Peel the potatoes and turnip.2
Cut both into roughly the same size pieces.3
Put into a deep pan with the onion.4
Add boiling water to cover and simmer gently until the ingredients are just soft.5
Drain off the cooking liquid.6
Mash everything thoroughly, adding chives and enough milk and butter to make a light consistency.7
Season well with salt and pepper.8
Serve with a nice sharp cheese as a meal, or as a side dish with a stew or meat.9
(We used to fry the leftovers and serve with fried tomatoes and bacon for breakfast).

This was quite good, and very similar to a Shaker recipe I've made for years called "Alabaster." (If you use white pepper instead of black, the Clapshot is a creamy white color.) The only thing to watch out for is that turnips can hold a LOT of moisture and the dish can get a little too watery. But it was excellent! Thanks, Millie!

"Super duper wonderful", says DH!lol Served the clapshot alongside meatloaf and it was a delectable combination. Used two rutabagas to four russet potatoes. Will cut the rutabagas pieces a bit smaller than the potatoes next time, to ensure more even cooking. Sprinkled with fresh snipped parsley---bravo! Will make this a regular at our house. Thank you so much for posting, Mille!

Excellent. A very simple, tasty side dish. I didn't drain mine well enough, so I didn't have the consistency needed to fry the leftovers as was suggested(but they reheated well anyway). Oh well, I'm sure I'll get it right in the future, as I plan to make this often. Thanks for another winner!
