    Cooking Directions For Clapshot:




    1. Boil the tatties and swede in separate pans and then drain.


    In her book A Cook's Tour of Scotland Sue Lawrence suggests using turnips and cooking the turnip for Clapshot in milk for a creamier taste or adding a peeled chopped onion with the potatoes for extra flavour.



    Maw Broon from the Sunday Post has published a cookbook full of her favourite Scottish and family recipes. Read More About It!


    2. Mash the swede and tatties together adding the butter.

    3. Stir in the chives and season with the salt and pepper


    The book A Cook's Tour of Scotland by Sue Lawrence has a Clapshot Soup with Haggis Croutons recipe which uses fresh ingredients or can be cooked with leftover clapshot.
