RUTABAGA SMASH WITH BACON

Steps:

• In 3-quart Dutch oven, place rutabagas, carrots and enough water to cover; add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 30 to 35 minutes or until tender. Drain.
• Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1/4 cup of the butter over medium heat. Cook onion in butter 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very tender.
• In large bowl, mash rutabagas and carrots until almost no lumps remain. Add onion, whipping cream, pepper, remaining 1/4 cup butter and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir until well blended. Sprinkle with bacon. Garnish with rosemary.

• Place cut up rutabaga into a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and enough water to just cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain.
• While the rutabaga cooks, cook the minced bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Do not discard the grease.
• Using a food processor or potato masher, mash the drained rutabaga, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper, and bacon grease together until smooth. Stir in the cooked bacon and parsley. Serve hot.

RUTABAGA-POTATO MASH WITH BACON

• Add potatoes to the pot and cook until both vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes more. Drain, reserving about 2 cups of cooking liquid. Set bacon aside.
• Mash the vegetables together until smooth or, for a finer texture, put through a food mill. Add reserved liquid as needed to loosen the mixture. Finely mince bacon and add to the vegetables. Add sugar, salt and pepper and stir well. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve hot.
