Low Carb Mashed Candied Rutabagas

Submitted by Mercy

"A good substitute for candied sweet potatoes. Be very careful when you are peeling or cutting a rutabaga. They are a beast to handle."

This was quite good. Nevertheless, I think it needs a bit of brown sugar--sprinkled on top--and a more sweetner. I also think one cooked/finelly mashed carrot might do the trick to make it look/taste more like sweet potatoes. Will try it next time. Thanks a lot for sharing!
