Rotmos

Everyone loves mashed potatoes, but have you ever had mashed....rutabagas? Rutabagas are a great alternative for potatoes, especially for someone on a diet.  They are lower in carbs, they have more fiber, they are higher in vitamins, etc. They also taste, great...or at least I think so...they taste, to me, like a mix between a potato and a turnip.

I wanted to make a recipe for something rutabaga and saw a while ago on wikipedia that there was a dish called rotmos. It means 'root mash' in Swedish and is often served along side ham or cooked swedish sausage like falukorv.

Rotmos

1 Rutabaga peeled and cut into cubes
2 potatoes peeled and cut into cubes
1 large carrot peeled and cut into cubes
Water for boiling
salt for water
salt and pepper for seasoning
(butter is optional)

Basically cut up the roots and put them in a large pot and cover them with water.

Cook the vegis until the rutabagas turn a nice golden yellow. Then you drain the water and mash up the roots!

I ate mine with some nice Italian sausages.

A lot of people it it with nice boiled peas. I hope you try it and enjoy this dish!

Loooooooove Kyle!
