Ingredients

• 2 large rutabagas
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the rutabagas and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rutabaga cubes to the pot and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the cooked rutabagas and transfer them to a large mixing bowl or food processor.

Step 4

Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and garlic powder (if using) to the rutabagas.

Step 5

Using a hand mixer, immersion blender, or food processor, whip the rutabagas until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can mash them with a potato masher instead.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Transfer the whipped rutabagas to a serving dish and garnish with a pat of butter or a sprinkle of additional nutmeg, if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy!
