How to Make Scandinavian Mashed Potato And Rutabaga Casserole

  1. Peel and chop 2 lbs russet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place in a large pot and cover with 4 cups of water. Add 2 teaspoons of salt.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  3. While potatoes cook, peel and chop 1 lb rutabaga into 1-inch pieces. Place in a separate saucepan, cover with 2 cups of water, and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until rutabaga is tender.
  5. Drain both the potatoes and rutabaga thoroughly.
  6. Mash the potatoes and rutabaga together using a potato masher or electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed potatoes and rutabaga with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup heavy cream or milk.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 3-quart shallow baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  9. Pour the potato and rutabaga mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and create indentations on the surface using a spoon.
  10. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
  11. Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this classic Scandinavian side dish, perfect for 12 servings!
