Instructions



1. Skin and slice the rutabagas into 1" cubes. Boil until soft.
   
2. In a separate pot, skin and boil the same amount of potatoes as you have rutabaga (or turnip cubes)and boil these as well until soft
   
3. Drain and mash Rutabagas in a large bowl, then add crushed garlic or garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons butter or margarine.
   
4. Mash potatoes and garlic and rutabaga together for a side dish
