*Traditional Scottish Recipes*
 *- Clapshot*

*This is a simple traditional dish which originated in the Orkneys. Variations on this recipe are sold, ready made and microwaveable, in supermarkets in Scotland these days. It is often served with haggis, instead of separate "tatties and neeps."*

## Ingredients

- 1 pound boiled potatoes
- 1 pound boiled turnip
- 1 or 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- Salt and pepper
- 2 ounces butter or margarine

## Method

Beat the two vegetables together while still hot and mix in the butter, chives and seasoning. If necessary, continue to beat in a pot until it is piping hot before serving.
