Best 6 Rutabaga Mash Recipes

INSTANT POT® RUTABAGA MASH

Steps:

• Pour water into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and set the trivet inside. Place rutabaga into a steamer basket and set inside the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain rutabaga. Return rutabaga to pot or place into a medium bowl.
• Add half-and-half, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the rutabaga and mash to desired consistency. The rutabaga will have a chunky texture. For a smoother texture, use a food processor. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a pot, combine rutabaga and sweet potatoes; cover with water by a few inches and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook until easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 15 minutes. Drain.
• Return pot to medium heat; add butter. When it melts, add garlic and sage; cook 1 minute. Add cream; bring to a simmer, then remove from heat. Return rutabaga and sweet potatoes to pot; mash to desired consistency and season with salt and pepper. Serve.

• Add potatoes to the pot and cook until both vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes more. Drain, reserving about 2 cups of cooking liquid. Set bacon aside.
• Mash the vegetables together until smooth or, for a finer texture, put through a food mill. Add reserved liquid as needed to loosen the mixture. Finely mince bacon and add to the vegetables. Add sugar, salt and pepper and stir well. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve hot.
