Mashed Rutabaga with Sour Cream & Dill
Prep Tip: Look for rutabagas that are firm, heavy, smooth, and round. Rutabagas will keep in a cold, dry place for up to four months or in the refrigerator for one month.
Change It Up: Add mashed cooked carrots for a colorful side dish. Top roasted or mashed rutabagas with shredded Parmesan cheese for flavorful and savory side. Shred fresh rutabaga with potatoes and onions for a fun twist on hash browns. Vegans: use your favorite vegan butter, sour cream and/or yogurt to make this dish dairy-free.
Nutrition Tip: Rutabaga is an excellent source of vitamin C.
