How to Make the Perfect Mashed Rutabaga

December 14, 2011

Ingredients

Rinse the rutabaga of its mud, then peel it. Cut the pale flesh into large chunks and pile into a steamer basket or metal colander. Place over a pan of boiling water and steam for twelve to fifteen minutes, then put into a bowl and crush with a potato masher. Fold in a slice of butter, some salt and black pepper, then beat hard with a wooden spoon.
