Mashed Carrots and Turnips (aka Rutabagas)

This is a dish that my mother in law used to make years ago when I was first married. I think it's an old English recipe and it was one of her family's traditional Thanksgiving recipes. It's very simple and very good! The first time I tried to make it, she told that it used carrots and turnips, so I made it with carrots and turnips. YUCK!!! It turned out that turnip is the old New England name for a RUTABAGA. Once I made it with rutabagas it was delicious -- I have never had a Thanksgiving without this recipe for the past 32 years. It's amazingly simple and if you've never had it you won't believe how amazingly delicious it is! It goes so well with turkey and stuffing!!

How Do I Make Mashed Carrots and Turnips (aka Rutabagas)?

Here is how you make Mashed Carrots and Turnips (aka Rutabagas):

This recipe is made just as you would make mashed potatoes. I use the already peeled baby carrots and cut them into smaller chunks. Peel the rutabaga and cut into one-inch chunks. (If you can find them, buy UNWAXED rutabaga(s) -- they are MUCH MUCH easier to peel and chop than the waxed ones. I've found that my local stores usually carry only the unwaxed ones these days.)Cook the carrots and rutabagas just as you would potatoes that you're going to mash. Since the rutabagas take longer too cook, I usually start them first, and then add the carrots once the rutabagas have started to soften up. Drain the cooked vegetables and mash them with your favorite method -- I usually mash them coarsely with a potato masher but you can blend them up finer if you prefer.
