boil, dry off, butter salt and pepper and mash them...............let them cool , put in sandwich bags and freeze.

What kind of size are they as the words swede and turnip seem to be interchangeable words describing totally different root veg, depending on what part of the country you live in? What craigywv and I are thinking of as turnip sounds from your description like what we would call swede here....

They keep for ages in the fridge so you probably don't need to use them immediately. In the meantime these threads may give you some ideas:

What to do with turnips...

Turnip/Swede?

Whats the difference between a turnip and a swede?

I'll add your thread to one of those links later, and there are more links that I can dig out if you would like me to.

Thanks, I still think turnip. You get them in stew packs round here.
Cream /white in colour and often put in casserole. Only trouble is ...I do not need a casserole.
Now if they were swede, would have a orange colour when cooked. I could put that in the steamer. Do mash and swede.

I bought the stew pack veg as whoopsies.
