Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and rutabaga/swede, removing all of the outer layer of skin and any areas under the skin that seem a bit green or otherwise not as good. Dice into cubes around 1in/2.5cm - I generally make the potato around this size and the rutabaga slightly smaller so they cook in a similar time.
- Place the diced vegetables in a pot/pan and cover with cold water. Cover and place the pot on a medium-high heat to bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to keep at a steady boil and cook for around 15 minutes until the potato and rutabaga are tender to a knifepoint (I'd recommend checking now and then after 10 minutes as cooking time can vary). Remove from the heat and drain. Leave the vegetables in the pot.
- Add the butter to the cooked, hot vegetables in small pieces and mash them together so that the butter melts in as you mash. You will still have the odd lumps of rutabaga - that's fine - but the potato should be relatively smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add the chopped chives. Mix through so evenly distributed but don't over-mix. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use a floury (mealy) potato such as russet or maris piper. You can easily scale up the recipe - just increase everything equally - but note it will take longer to come through to a boil initially.
- Note rutabaga is called swede in England, turnip in Scotland though that can be confusing - it's the larger, pale yellow one rather than the white turnips. Also known as "neeps".
