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)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the swede using a vegetable peeler and chop it into 2 cm cubes.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Drain the swede and return it to the pot. Allow it to sit for 1-2 minutes to let any excess moisture evaporate.
Step 4
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).
Step 5
Stir in the double cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
Step 6
Transfer the mashed swede to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 7
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
