Mashed Rutabagas Rutabagas and turnips are very similar, with rutabagas being a bit larger and yellow inside instead of white. Rutabagas have a slightly milder, sweeter flavor than turnips, but they also have slightly more carbs per serving. 2 pounds rutabaga * 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons butter Salt and pepper, to taste Carefully cut the ends off the rutabaga. With a flat end on your cutting board, remove peel in sections with knife by slicing from top to bottom. Be sure to remove all of the green part just under the skin. Cut into dice-size pieces and place in a medium pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt and water just to cover. Bring to a boil; cover and simmer about 30-35 minutes or until tender. Drain well and mash with a potato masher. Add butter, salt and pepper. Makes 6 servings. * Weight before peeling. I used two about the size of softballs.
