Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams swede (rutabaga)
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 50 milliliters double cream (heavy cream)
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Peel the swede and chop it into evenly sized cubes, roughly 2 cm in diameter.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the swede and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the swede is tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the swede well and allow it to sit in the colander for 2-3 minutes to steam off excess water.
Return the drained swede to the pot. Add the butter and mash the swede until smooth using a potato masher or immersion blender.
Stir in the double cream and continue mashing until the mixture is creamy and well-combined.
Season with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve immediately as a side dish, garnished with a small knob of butter if desired.
