How to Make Mashed Rutabagas And Potatoes

  1. Peel and chop 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Peel and chop 1 lb rutabagas into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Place potatoes and rutabagas in a large pot. Add enough salted water to cover by about 1 inch.
  3. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until both vegetables are easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Drain the potatoes and rutabagas thoroughly.
  5. Return the cooked vegetables to the pot and mash until smooth using a potato masher or ricer.
  6. In a separate small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup buttermilk and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat for 1 minute, or until butter is melted and mixture is warm. Do not boil.
  7. Gradually pour the warm buttermilk mixture into the mashed potatoes, stirring constantly to combine.
  8. Stir in 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives.
  9. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
