Citrus-Roasted Sweet Potato and Rutabaga image

Roasted sweet potatoes, onions, and rutabaga with various citrus juices squeezed on top. I didn't like sweet potatoes until I made this for my sweet potato-loving family. Now I have them whenever I can! This is a great side dish anywhere you would regularly serve mashed potatoes. Honestly, I've eaten a bowl of just this as a meal. Feel free to season as you'd like.

RUTABAGA POTATA



Rutabaga Potata image

This recipe comes from my husband's Swedish side. It's called ROTMOS, kind of sounds like ROOT MOOSE. I just call it Rutabaga Potata! When Aunt Lenore made this years ago, I loved it right away. And of course, I asked her how to make it! It's just wonderful comfort food! Much like a big bowl of mashed potatoes.

Categories     Potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 - medium rutabaga
4 - medium potatoes (i like red)
4 tablespoon(s) butter
milk
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Carefully peel and cut the rutabaga into small pieces. Place in a pot of cold water, with a lid.
  • The rutabaga takes 20 minutes longer than the potatoes to cook. So, start cooking the rutabaga while peeling the potatoes. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
  • Cut the potatoes into pieces, and place in a pot of cold water, add salt to the water too. Just like you were making mashed potatoes. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover with a lid.
  • Cook both rutabaga and potatoes until tender. When cooked and tender, drain both pots well. Add the contents of one pot to the other, add the butter, some milk and pepper, and mash together. Just like mashed potatoes. Place in a serving bowl, and dot with butter. Enjoy!
