A Three-Root Mash
I’m not suggesting we should inflict anything on our family or friends that they won’t eat, but there are worse ways of getting rid of an unwanted rutabaga than in this three-root mash. Works well with pretty much anything, even fish.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Peel the rutabaga, carrots, and potatoes, chop them into large, similar-sized pieces, and bring them to a boil in lightly salted water. Decrease the heat as they reach a boil and let them simmer enthusiastically for about 25 minutes, until all are tender. One may be ready slightly before the others but it really doesn’t matter here.
Step 2
Drain, then crush with a potato masher. Introduce the butter and beat with a wooden spoon until fluffy. If you use an electric mixer, then go easy, taking care not to overmix and turn the mash “gluey.” Season with black pepper and a brief grating of nutmeg.
