This recipe is my version of the Belgian root vegetable mash called Stoemp. This flavourful mash is a wonderful alternative to plain mashed potatoes and a great way to use up seasonal, local produce like turnips, squash and sweet potatoes. This side dish works well with any meal you’d have with mashed potatoes and plays very nicely with gravy (if that’s your thing).
