Steps:
- Peel the rutabaga and cut it in thin slices.
- Put it in a large pot with plenty of water and bring it to a boil.
- Meanwhile, peel the carrots and cut them in thick slices.
- When the rutabaga has been cooking for about 10 minutes, add the carrots.
- Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, and cut them into large chunks.
- When the rutabaga has been cooking for 20 minutes (total) add the potatoes, and cook for about another 20 minutes.
- When all the vegetables are tender, drain them and mash them with the butter, salt and pepper.
- These are delicious mashed somewhat coarsely and served as-is.
- You can also purée them very well, beat in the egg, and turn them into a buttered casserole dish, then bake them until lightly toasted on top.
A BAKED CAKE OF RUTABAGA AND POTATO
Steps:
- Peel the potatoes, then cut them into very fine slices. A sharp knife is fine but if you have a mandoline (the vegetable slicer, that is, not the lutelike stringed instrument), use that. Whatever, your slices should be almost thin enough to see through. Do the same with the rutabaga, keeping the slices in cold water to prevent them browning.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and thinly slice the garlic. Over medium heat, melt the butter in a flameproof dish or sauté pan about 10 inches (25cm) in diameter. When it starts to bubble, decrease the heat and add the garlic. It needs to soften slightly without coloring-a matter of five minutes or so. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the mustard. Remove about two-thirds of the mustard and butter out of the pan and into a pitcher.
- Drain the potato and rutabaga slices and pat them dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Put a third of the vegetables into the pan, layering them neatly or just chucking them in as the mood takes you, then drizzle them with some of the mustard butter in the pitcher. Season with the thyme leaves, pepper, and salt. Be quite generous with the salt. Repeat this twice, so that all the slices of vegetable are layered with the thyme and the mustard and garlic butter. Now pour the stock over the top.
- Cover with a circle of wax paper or aluminum foil, pressing it down well on top of the cake. Bake for about an hour and ten minutes, until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. Remove the foil, increase the heat to 425°F (220°C), and bake for a further ten minutes, until the top has colored and crisped a little.

What is a Baked Cake of Rutabaga and Potato
A baked cake of rutabaga and potato is a hearty and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as a side dish. This recipe typically involves combining cooked rutabaga and potato with other ingredients such as cheese, eggs, and breadcrumbs, and baking the mixture in a casserole dish until it forms a crispy and golden crust.
Ingredients
- Rutabaga
- Potatoes
- Cheese
- Eggs
- Breadcrumbs
- Milk or cream
- Butter or oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Herbs (optional)
Preparation
Before making a baked cake of rutabaga and potato, the first step is to prepare the vegetables by peeling and chopping them into small pieces. The rutabaga may be tougher to peel than the potato, so it is often recommended to use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler and to cut the rutabaga into smaller pieces to make it easier to handle.
Once the vegetables are prepared, they can be cooked by boiling or steaming until they are tender. The cooked vegetables are then mashed or pureed with a potato masher or blender until they form a smooth and creamy consistency. Cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, and other flavorings such as milk, cream, or herbs can be added at this stage to create a more complex and flavorful dish.
The mixture is then transferred to a casserole dish or baking pan that has been greased with butter or oil. It is important to spread the mixture evenly and smoothly in the dish and to press it down gently with a spatula or spoon to help it hold together during baking. Additional breadcrumbs or cheese can be sprinkled on top to create a crispy crust.
The dish is then baked in a preheated oven until it is golden and crispy on top and heated throughout. The baking time and temperature may vary depending on the recipe, but most baked cakes of rutabaga and potato take between 30 minutes and 1 hour to cook.
Variations
A baked cake of rutabaga and potato can be customized in many ways to suit individual preferences and dietary needs. Here are a few variations to consider:
- Add bacon, ham, or sausage for a meatier version.
- Use different types of cheese, such as cheddar, feta, or parmesan.
- Replace some of the potato with sweet potato or pumpkin for added sweetness and nutrition.
- Add chopped vegetables such as onions, garlic, or carrots for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Omit the cheese and use a non-dairy milk or cream alternative for a vegan version.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour for a gluten-free version.
- Top with fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley for added aroma and flavor.
In conclusion...
A baked cake of rutabaga and potato is a simple but satisfying dish that is perfect for a cozy dinner or holiday meal. It can be prepared ahead of time and reheated for convenience, and it is versatile enough to be adapted to many different tastes and dietary requirements. Whether you are a fan of savory dishes or have a sweet tooth, this hearty and nutritious recipe is sure to please.
