Creamy Mashed Rutabaga
A deliciously creamy take on an often overlooked root vegetable.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 pound rutabaga, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup of whole milk or heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
- salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Peel your rutabaga and chop it into 1 inch cubes
- Place the rutabaga into a large pot and add enough cool water to cover by about an inch
- Place the pot over medium high heat and bring the water to a boil
- Boil until fork tender (about 20 minutes)
- Drain and set aside
- Add 1/2 cup of whole milk or heavy cream along with 3 tablespoons of butter, 2 finely minced cloves of garlic and a big pinch of salt and black pepper into the same pot you boiled the rutabaga in and place over medium heat
- As soon as the butter has melted and the mixture is steamy, transfer the pot off of the heat and add the drained rutabagas back into the pot
- Mash the rutabagas until fairly smooth and stir to evenly distribute the butter and garlic mixture
- Enjoy!
