Clapshot is a traditional Scottish dish that originated in Orkney[1][2][3] and may be served with haggis, oatcakes,[2] mince, sausages or cold meat.[3] It is created by the combined mashing of swede turnips and potatoes ("neeps and tatties") with the addition of chives, butter or dripping, salt and pepper; some versions include onions.[1][2][3] The etymology of Clapshot is unclear, but it appears to be Orcadian in origin.[4] It is often prepared as part of a Burns Nicht supper.
