Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
Kosher salt
3 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 stick cold butter

MASHED RUTABAGA - NORWAY

Called 'swedes' in the UK, and 'rutabaga' in the US, these root vegetables are delicious steamed, mashed, or baked. It's a somewhat sweet vegetable, delicious accompanying roasted meats; the water used to boil it adds something nice to gravies. In the garden, they can be left in the ground a long time after the cold sets in.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rutabagas: Look for firm and smooth rutabagas with no blemishes or bruises. The smaller ones are usually more tender and sweeter.
  • Peel and cut the rutabagas into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife to peel the rutabagas. Cut them into 1-inch cubes or wedges.
  • Boil the rutabagas until tender: Place the rutabagas in a large pot of boiling water. Bring the water back to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rutabagas are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Drain the rutabagas and mash them: Drain the rutabagas well in a colander. Return them to the pot and use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash them until smooth. You can leave them chunky or mash them until completely smooth, depending on your preference.
  • Add the apples, butter, milk, and seasonings: Stir in the diced apples, butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Continue mashing until the apples are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Serve immediately: Rutabaga and apple mash is best served hot or warm. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
