Mashed Rutabaga (Yellow Turnip or Swede) and Potato image

This is from "The Frugal Gourmet Celebrates Christmas". I made the entire "Swedish Winter Feast" for a past Christmas and it was wonderful! I'll post the other recipes next. The whole meal is: Swedish Corned Pork Roast, Swedish Sauerkraut, Swedish Green Split Peas with Bacon, Mashed Rutabaga, Turnip, and Potato & Sweet and Hot Mustard, served with Rye Bread. I expected not to like anything and ended up LOVING everything!

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 3/4 lbs rutabagas, peeled and quartered
1 1/2 lbs turnips, peeled and quartered

4 tablespoons butter, melted (1/2 a cube)
1/2 cup whipping cream
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Add the turnips and potatoes and boil 15 minutes more, until all the vegetables are tender.
  • Drain well.
  • Mash the vegetables with the remaining ingredients. (I do it right in the pot.) You can also use an immersion blender to puree them.
