Servings: 4
Calories: 147kcal
Ingredients
- 2 rutabagas medium sized
- 3 tbsp butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 milk or cream, to taste (optional for more creamy consistency)
- chives or parsley to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Peel the rutabagas using a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife and cut them into even-sized chunks.
- Place the rutabaga chunks in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover the pieces. Add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the rutabagas are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the rutabagas in a colander and let them sit for a minute or two to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
- Place the cooked rutabaga chunks back into the pot or into a mixing bowl. Add the butter and use a potato masher to mash the rutabagas until smooth.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. If you want your mashed rutabagas to be a bit creamier, stir in a little milk or cream until you reach your desired consistency.
- Spoon the mashed rutabagas into a serving bowl. Garnish with chives or parsley if desired, and serve warm.
