Best Mashed Rutabaga Yellow Turnip Or Swede And Potato Recipes

MASHED POTATOES AND RUTABAGA WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Cover the rutabaga and potatoes with cold, generously salted water in a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the vegetables and return to the pot over low heat. Stir in 8 tablespoons butter. Mash with a potato masher, ricer or food mill until smooth, adding the warm half-and-half and 2 teaspoons salt. Keep warm while preparing breadcrumbs.
• Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lemon zest and scallions. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the parsley and breadcrumbs and cook over medium-low heat, stirring until evenly toasted, 3 to 4 more minutes. (If the breadcrumbs toast too quickly, reduce the heat.)
• Transfer the mashed vegetables to a large shallow platter and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs just before serving. Garnish with scallion slices. (To curl them, julienne whole scallions and place in ice water.)

• In a saucepan, heat the oil with 3 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat until it begins to bubble.
• Reduce the heat to low, add the shallots and cook until they are a rich golden brown, about 30-40 minutes; stir the shallots occasionally while they are cooking to make sure they brown evenly.

• Drain the turnips, and puree (in several batches, if necessary) in a food processor.
• With the motor running, add the melted butter and milk in a steady stream; the turnips should be very smooth.
