Instructions
- Heat water in large pot on stove to boiling.
- I use a sharp paring knife to remove wax coated skin from the rutabaga.
- The rutabaga is a very hard vegetable in the raw form, so be careful when cutting it.
- Use a chef's knife to cut a slice off of one side of the rutabaga.
- Place the flat side down on the cutting board and cut off small slices.
- Then chop the slices the other direction forming small cubes.
- Place rutabaga is boiling water and boil until tender. (about 60 minutes).
- Remove from heat.
- When tender, strain water off of rutabaga cubes and place them in a flat bottomed dish. (My Dad puts them back in the pot for this step.).
- Use a mashing tool and mash them to desired consistency.
- Add butter, salt & pepper.
- Mix thoroughly and serve.
- (One can also make ahead and warm it up in the microwave.).
- Enjoy!
