Directions
Smashed Rutabagas,My Dad has been cooking and mashing rutabagas my entire life although he always referred to them as turnips. LOL! We always have them with turkey or roast beef. Upon occasion we have been able to buy them fresh without the wax coating, but it doesn’t happen very often.,Easy and delicious, a total winner! used one very large rutabaga, one of the less pretty ones that didn’t make the cut to go to the farmer’s market, so it required a little bit of extra prep. I cut it up into small chunks, added just enough water to cover, plus salt, and they were tender in well under an hour. I only used 2 tablespoons of butter and I feel that was just right (this coming from a huge butter fan). If I added potatoes to this, then I’d definitely include extra butter. I didn’t know what crazy salt was, so used regular Himalayan salt and it turned out fine. Thanks for posting! This is going in my recipe book.,This went over really well with pot roast as you can imagine. I looked online for Jane’s Krazy salt copycat recipe and made a small batch for the rutabaga mash (minus the Accent?). A combination of root vegetables (parsnips, carrots, turnips, etc.) would work for this recipe, too. Made for Winter NA*ME tag.
