ROOT VEGETABLE MASH
Rutabaga adds a wonderful flavour to this mash. It takes slightly longer to cook so cut it smaller than the rest of the vegetables.
½ head celeriac
2 parsnips
2 lbs (1 kg) Yukon Gold potatoes
1 small rutabaga, preferably unwaxed
¼ cup (60 mL) whipping cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 Peel the celeriac, parsnips and potatoes and cut into 2-inch (5-cm) chunks. Peel rutabaga and cut into slightly smaller pieces.
2 Place all vegetables in a pot of salted cold water. Bring to boil then cook gently for 20 to 25 minutes or until vegetables are very soft.
3 Drain well and return to pot. Place over turned-off burner to dry. Mash together, adding a little cream for texture. Season well with
salt and pepper.
