Adding cream to vegetables is the origin of the term 'creamed'. We tend to use a lot less fat in our cooking and so would now use a little milk (preferably semi-skimmed) when making creamed potatoes. This is a rich dish using cream to bring out the flavour of the turnips. It is delicious and might be nice for a real treat.
