Best Mashed Potatoes And Rutabaga Recipes

MASHED RUTABAGA AND YUKON GOLD POTATOES

Steps:

• Toss the rutabagas into a large pot and cover generously with water. Season the water generously with salt.
• Bring the water to a boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer for 45 minutes. Toss in the potatoes and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, another 20 minutes.
• Strain the rutabagas and potatoes from the water and pass through a food mill into a large bowl.
• In a small saucepot, bring the cream to a boil and turn off.
• Take 1 to 2 pats of butter and a splash of hot cream and whip them into the potato mixture. Continue this until all the butter and cream are incorporated. Taste and re-season with salt if needed. Serve immediately or keep warm in a low oven.

MASHED POTATOES AND RUTABAGA

Steps:

• In a pot large enough to hold the rutabaga and potatoes, cook the rutabaga in enough water to cover both rutabaga and potatoes. Cover the pot. After 10 minutes, add the potatoes and continue cooking, covered, until both vegetables are done, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain.
• In food processor or with hand potato masher, puree potatoes and rutabaga with remaining ingredients.

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.)

MASHED RUTABAGA AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook diced rutabaga, covered, in as small amount of boiling, salted water as possible about 30 minutes, or until tender; drain.

• Combine hot rutabaga and hot potatoes.
• Mash or beat together with butter, salt and pepper to taste.
