Ingredients

  • 3 large rutabagas
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Clean and peel the rutabagas. Using a vegetable peeler makes it easy to remove the waxy skin. Chop the rutabaga into small cubes or chunks.
  • Place the cubed rutabagas into a large pot. Cover with cold water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil and cook for 30 minutes or until it's fork tender.
  • Carefully drain off the water and use a potato masher to start mashing the cooked rutabaga.
  • Add in the butter, half and half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Mash to combine until creamy.
