Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large swede (rutabaga)
- 50 grams butter
- 50 ml double cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the swede using a vegetable peeler and chop it into 2 cm cubes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the swede cubes and boil for 25-30 minutes, or until the swede is fork-tender.
Drain the swede and return it to the pot. Allow it to sit for 1-2 minutes to let any excess moisture evaporate.
Add the butter and mash the swede using a potato masher or a fork until smooth (or leave it slightly chunky, depending on your preference).
Stir in the double cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
Transfer the mashed swede to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
