Mashed Rutabaga

D. Rattray
Flavorful mashed rutabagas make a great side dish to any meat or poultry. These are delicious with potatoes and ham or a pot roast.

Ingredients:

  • 2 to 3 pounds rutabaga
  • water
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

Peel rutabaga; cut into chunks. Put the chunks in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer for abou 25 to 30 minutes or until tender. Drain and let them dry in a colander or in the pan with the top ajar.

Mash the rutabagas with the butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper.
Serves 4 to 6.
