Wow a controversial question, Tatties are Potatoes so far so good, but I thought Neeps are Parsnips. Saying that if you can roast a Turnip then I am prepared to debate the point, Broken Bottles at dawn?

Tatties = Potatoes
Neeps = Turnips
At this time of year, January 25, Rabbie Burns Birthday, should be enjoyed with Haggis

Tatties (potatoes
Neeps (swede in english)
Recipe for Neeps as follows.
Bashed Neeps
This is a traditional accompaniment to Haggis. The turnip in Scotland is commonly "brassica rapa," rutabaga or Swedish turnip. In England it is called a swede. It was introduced to Scotland in the late eighteenth century by Patrick Miller of Dalswinton. He was a wealthy man, a director of the Bank of Scotland and Chairman of the Carron Iron Company, and had a passionate interest in mechanical and agricultural improvement. King Gustav III of Sweden was a satisfied customer of Carron, and he presented Miller with a gold, diamond-encrusted snuff-box bearing a miniature of himself, containing rutabaga seeds. In this way the "swede" came to Scotland. The box and its accompanying letter can still be seen in the British Museum in London.
INGREDIENTS: Swede - 450 g (1 lb) peeled and diced, Butter - 50 g (2 oz), Mace - pinch (optional).
COOKING: 1. Cook the swede in boiling water for 15 minutes, until tender. Drain and mash well.
2. Add remaining ingredients and mix well until the butter is melted and incorporated. Season according to taste.

Potatoes and turnips, historically.
But what you'd be served now would be potatotes and rutabagas, though if you went to buy the latter you'd need to ask for swedes.
However, this week it would be haggis and neeps everyone would be advertising and eating in Scotland. Burns' Nicht is January 25.

Important to emphasise that we call swede turnips. Don't think those little turnips would be too tasty!!
Enjoy Burns night! Sláinte!
