Submitted by Jenny Sanders

"This is a very intriguing dish. The flavours blend so well it is hard to identify any one of the componants; instead it seems like some new, mysterious veggie."

5. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, and cut them into large chunks.
6. When the rutabaga has been cooking for 20 minutes (total) add the potatoes, and cook for about another 20 minutes.

Soooo good! When I serve it, people think it tastes like the best mashed potatoes ever. Followed instructions exactly and you won't be disappointed. One of my favorite recipes.

Nice mash! I had to use turnips. Great directions, everything was done at just the right time. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Easy and tasty. Added a teaspoon of minced garlic at the end because we love everything garlicky here. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing!

This was the best mashed recipe I have made. The flavors blend together so well. I usually add extra butter on my plate to mashed anything, but this doesn't need it. Followed the recipe to a tee. Wouldn't change a thing. Partially mashed was perfect. Thanks so much for this recipe.

We added some pepper jack cheese to the mash, then sprinkled the top with green onions and crumbles of bacon. Like mashed potatoes except so much better!
