Steps:
- *NOTE: swedes are known in US as rutabagas. I've also used yams/sweet potatoes, turnips and fingerlings in this recipe. ~fyi~.
- Feel free to use any single vegetable or a mixture of your favorites. Cookgirl says that a mixture of root vegetables is the way to go!
- Peel the root vegetables then chop up into golf-ball sized pieces, place in salted boiling water and cook until very tender.
- Drain in a colander.
- Place the vegetables back in the pan and mash with a potato masher.
- You can mash them as smooth or as chunky as you like. Season with salt and pepper, then enrich the flavor with extra virgin oil or butter, or both, to taste. (I prefer using both olive oil and butter.).
- Jamie continues to say: once cooked, the mashed vegetables can be kept warm in a bowl covered with kitchen foil over simmering water. This is handy when cooking for a dinner party -- (especially when timing is of utmost importance.).
SAVORY ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES
Beets were my sworn enemy until I tried them like this, it's a great way to use root vegetables. I think the beets add a beautiful red color to the dish, but if it bothers you to serve pinkish vegetables, substitute parsnips, rutabaga, or any similar vegetable; be creative!

- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring once midway through baking. Remove the baking dish from the oven, and stir in the wine. Return to the oven, and bake until the wine has mostly evaporated and the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes more. Stir in the beet greens, allowing them to wilt from the heat of the vegetables. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

- Bring pot of water to boil. Add bouillon cubes and stir to dissolve; return to boil. Add vegetables; cook until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes. Drain vegetables; return to pot. Add butter and mash until smooth. Mix in 3 tablespoons milk, adding more milk if mixture is dry. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables: For the best flavor and texture, choose root vegetables that are firm and free of blemishes. Some of the best options include carrots, potatoes, parsnips, turnips, and rutabagas.
- Peel and cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to peel and cut the vegetables into 1-inch pieces.
- Boil the vegetables until tender: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the vegetables and cook until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the vegetables well: Once the vegetables are tender, drain them well in a colander to remove excess water.
- Mash the vegetables: Place the drained vegetables in a large bowl and mash them with a potato masher or an electric hand mixer until smooth.
- Season the vegetables: Add salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings to taste. You can also add butter, milk, or cream for a richer flavor.
- Serve immediately: Mashed root vegetables are best served immediately, while they are still hot and fluffy.
