PRINT RECIPE

Rutabagas are most famously served mashed — a dish known as “clapshot” in Scotland. In different regions, rutabaga-lovers may add potatoes, corn, peas, beans or carrots to their mashed-rutabaga dishes. In Norway, rutabagas are even turned into “rotmos,” which is composed of rutabagas mashed with butter or soup stock, milk or cream.
