""Root vegies mashed with Chevre cheese. Very good in place of plain mashed potatoes. Try to find a stronger flavor chevre (the more aged, the stronger). If you prefer a creamier texture, add more chevre or some milk while mashing. This is good with the holiday turkey."

Peel and trim all vegetables, and cube in 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
Bring large pot of water to boil, and add vegetables. Cook until just tender, about 15 minutes

Stir in chives and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring back to heat over medium burner, stirring to keep from sticking.
