Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Rutabaga (yellow turnip or swede)
- 3 medium-sized Potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream (or milk)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the rutabagas and potatoes. Chop both into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1-inch pieces, for even cooking.
Step 2
Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Place the chopped rutabagas and potatoes into the pot.
Step 3
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rutabagas and potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 4
Drain the vegetables in a colander and return them to the pot.
Step 5
Over low heat, gently stir the drained rutabagas and potatoes for 1-2 minutes to remove any excess moisture.
Step 6
Add unsalted butter, heavy cream (or milk), salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Step 7
Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the mixture until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 8
Transfer the mashed rutabaga and potato mixture to a serving bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting and flavorful side dish!
