Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large rutabagas
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
Peel the rutabagas and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rutabaga cubes to the pot and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the cooked rutabagas and transfer them to a large mixing bowl or food processor.
Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and garlic powder (if using) to the rutabagas.
Using a hand mixer, immersion blender, or food processor, whip the rutabagas until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can mash them with a potato masher instead.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the whipped rutabagas to a serving dish and garnish with a pat of butter or a sprinkle of additional nutmeg, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
