Peel and chop the potatoes, parsnips, carrots, swede, and turnips into even-sized chunks for consistent cooking.
Trim and chop the leeks into rounds. Rinse thoroughly to remove any trapped dirt.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chopped root vegetables and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until fork-tender.
In a separate small saucepan, melt 25 grams of butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened but not browned. Set aside.
Drain the cooked root vegetables and return them to the pot. Let them sit for a minute over low heat to evaporate excess moisture.
Add the remaining 25 grams of butter, the sautéed leeks, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the pot.
Using a potato masher, mash the ingredients together until smooth yet slightly textured. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve warm as a standalone dish or with your favorite sausages, roasted meats, or vegetarian gravy.
