Mashed Rutabaga Yellow Turnip Or Swede And Potato Recipes

Steps:

• Cover the rutabaga and potatoes with cold, generously salted water in a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
• Drain the vegetables and return to the pot over low heat. Stir in 8 tablespoons butter. Mash with a potato masher, ricer or food mill until smooth, adding the warm half-and-half and 2 teaspoons salt. Keep warm while preparing breadcrumbs.
• Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lemon zest and scallions. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the parsley and breadcrumbs and cook over medium-low heat, stirring until evenly toasted, 3 to 4 more minutes. (If the breadcrumbs toast too quickly, reduce the heat.)
• Transfer the mashed vegetables to a large shallow platter and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs just before serving. Garnish with scallion slices. (To curl them, julienne whole scallions and place in ice water.)

Steps:

• Place the rutabaga in a 6 quart pot with ample water and a pinch of salt. Boil for 15 minutes.
• Add the turnips and potatoes and boil 15 minutes more, until all the vegetables are tender.
• Drain well.
• Mash the vegetables with the remaining ingredients. (I do it right in the pot.) You can also use an immersion blender to puree them.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and turnip.
• Cut both into roughly the same size pieces.
• Put into a deep pan with the onion.
• Add boiling water to cover and simmer gently until the ingredients are just soft.
• Drain off the cooking liquid.
• Mash everything thoroughly, adding chives and enough milk and butter to make a light consistency.
• Season well with salt and pepper.
• Serve with a nice sharp cheese as a meal, or as a side dish with a stew or meat.
• (We used to fry the leftovers and serve with fried tomatoes and bacon for breakfast).

Steps:

• Cook diced rutabaga, covered, in as small amount of boiling, salted water as possible about 30 minutes, or until tender; drain.
• Boil unpeeled potatoes for about 30 minutes, or until very tender; drain and slip off skins.
• Combine hot rutabaga and hot potatoes.
• Mash or beat together with butter, salt and pepper to taste.
• If mixture is dry, beat in a little hot milk to obtain the consistency you like.
• Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Steps:

• Slice the shallots crosswise into very thin rings.
• In a saucepan, heat the oil with 3 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat until it begins to bubble.
• Reduce the heat to low, add the shallots and cook until they are a rich golden brown, about 30-40 minutes; stir the shallots occasionally while they are cooking to make sure they brown evenly.
• Remove the shallots from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Once the shallots have dried and crisped, in about 15 minutes, they can be stored in a cool place, covered, for several days.
• Serve the shallots at room temperature.
• Peel the turnips to remove their waxy skins, and cut them into generous 1-inch chunks.
• Place them in a saucepan with water to cover and 1 teaspoon of salt.
• Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, until easily pierced by a paring knife, about 35 minutes.
• In a separate saucepan, heat the milk and 6 tablespoons butter over low heat until the butter has melted and the milk just begins to simmer.
• Drain the turnips, and puree (in several batches, if necessary) in a food processor.
• With the motor running, add the melted butter and milk in a steady stream; the turnips should be very smooth.
• Return the turnip puree to the saucepan, season with 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper and reheat, stirring over a medium flame.
• Serve piping hot, sprinkled generously with crispy shallots.
