Carmalized Potato and Rutabaga Mash
a NEW WAY TO IMAGINE THE SPUD
About this Recipe
The genius behiond this dish is, it’s all root vegitables. Simple. This is another example that good technique doesn’t need a thousand ingredients to make it taste good.
It’s the time it takes to get the root veggies caramalized and with a splash of Angry Orchard’s Crisp Apple – You have a masterpiece.
- ½ lb Russet potato peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes, about 2 cups
- 2 Rutabaga peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes, about 2 cups (can substitute Turnips or Sweet Potatoes, if needed)
- 2 Cups Heavy cream
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- ¼ Cup Angry Orchard Crisp Apple
Step 1
Combine the potatoes and the rutabagas in a 2 1/2-quart, heavy-bottomed saucepan and add just enough cream to cover the vegetables. Stir in the salt.
Step 2
Cover and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Watch carefully because once it starts to bubble, it will boil over lightning fast!
Step 3
Remove the lid and cut the heat down to low. Simmer, without stirring, until the mixture starts to separate and looks like it is starting to curdle, it will take about 1 1/2 hours or until the potato and rutabaga are tender.
Step 4
The milk solids will sink to the bottom of the pan and form a thick coating down there; this will start the vegetables to caramelize. You will want the cream to reduce down in volume and thicken so the finished puree has a silky texture.
Step 5
Pull the pan from the heat and use a wooden spoon to scrape all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan into the mixture.
Spoon the vegetables into an upright blender and add just enough of the cooking cream to cover 75% of the vegetables.
Step 6
Add to the blender the Angry Orchard Cider. You should have just enough liquid to cover the vegetables completely, if not add additional cider to cover.
Blend to a smooth velvety puree, for about 2 minutes.
Using a rubber spatula, press the puree through a fine-mesh strainer for an even more velvety texture. Your purree will be about the consistency of a thick custard.
Step 7
Serve alongside your favorite Thanksgiving dinner in place of traditional mashed potatoes.
