Mash & Peas with Crispy Ham


  • 2 turnips
  • 1.5 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 small zucchini
  • 5 cloves garlic, whole
  • .5 lb. finely diced, fried crispy lunchmeat ham
  • 2 bunches dices green onion
  • 1 lb. par-microwaved frozen peas (barely cooked)
  • 2 teaspoons beef bullion paste
  • butter to taste (I used butter flavored oil)
  • Rosemary and thyme to taste

Dice and boilfry the zucc, about 6 minutes.
Peel and dice potatoes and turnips into 1 inch chunks
Boil with the garlic, in plenty of seasoned water for 10-15 minutes until medium tender. Drain and immediately spread out on a sheet of foil to cool and air dry.

Fry up the diced ham. If you've not done this before, warning: It's very spattery. You will need a spatter screen, because they pop violently. Set fried ham aside.

Use a hand masher like you mean it. Add butter as you go. Most people add cream or milk, cashew milk for me.
Season to taste. Lots of pepper and garlic powder.
Fold in the crispy ham and peas, and sit down and enjoy.
