I always liked Rutabagas in soup.  But after tasting the Gilfeather Rutabaga at FnB Restaurant in Scottsdale AZ I became a little obsessed over them.

Rutabagas can be….

Boiled

Roasted

Fried

or raw in a salad.

In Sweden and Norway the Rutabaga is made into a Mash with Potato and is called Root Mash.

ROOT MASH

Oven Fried Rutabaga 400 degrees about 1/2 hour

They are delicious as oven fries as they come out  creamy and sweet with the Rutabaga attitude.

Rutabagas are delicious other ways.

Roasted then Fried Rutabaga topped with oven fried Lotus Chip

The above is a Gilfeather Rutabaga purchased from McClendon’s Old Town Scottsdale Farmer’s Market. I roasted the rutabaga then pan fried it in a combination of butter and canola oil.  Added a little fresh ground Sea Salt and Pepper.

I made a cream of Nonfat Greek Yogurt and whipped cream cheese and for the right tang and body and then topped with a lotus root chip I made. I think it came out more delicious than a baked potato. The above Rutabaga is similar to what I enjoyed at FnB.
