- 1 1/2 pounds turnips, chopped
- 3 fresh (5" long) sweet potatoes, chopped
- 4 medium bacon slices
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

- Meanwhile, cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and coarsely crumble. Reserve drippings.
- Drain vegetables and return to saucepan. Beat with an electric mixer or mash with a potato masher until fairly smooth. Add butter and bacon drippings. Stir in cinnamon, salt and pepper.
