Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Rutabaga (yellow turnip or swede)
- 3 medium-sized Potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream (or milk)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the rutabagas and potatoes. Chop both into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1-inch pieces, for even cooking.
Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Place the chopped rutabagas and potatoes into the pot.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rutabagas and potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the vegetables in a colander and return them to the pot.
Over low heat, gently stir the drained rutabagas and potatoes for 1-2 minutes to remove any excess moisture.
Add unsalted butter, heavy cream (or milk), salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the mixture until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the mashed rutabaga and potato mixture to a serving bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting and flavorful side dish!
