Potatoes often get all the attention, but rutabaga is just as delicious when mashed. The sage- and garlic-steeped milk adds another level of flavor that makes this dish both savory and satisfying.

Ingredients

1 large rutabaga (about 1½ pounds), peeled and chopped
½ cup milk
2 sprigs sage
2 bay leaves
1 garlic clove, smashed
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the rutabaga, and boil for about 15 minutes or until the pieces are fork tender. Drain the rutabaga and return it to the pot.
While the rutabaga is boiling, in a small saucepan, combine the milk, sage, bay leaves, and garlic. Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat. Let stand until rutabaga is cooked and drained.
Remove sage, bay leaves, and garlic from the milk. Add the milk to the drained rutabaga. Mash with a potato masher or with an electric mixture until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Serve warm.
