Mashed Rutabaga (Kålrotstappe)

(Mashed Rutabaga)

Kålrotstappe is a traditional dish originating from Norway. It's usually made with a combination of rutabagas, potatoes, cream, nutmeg, salt, white pepper, and water. The rutabagas are peeled, sliced, and boiled in salted water. They're drained and mashed with warm potatoes.


The dish is seasoned with salt, white pepper, and often nutmeg. Cream and a bit of water or broth is added to the mixture, and kålrotstappe is garnished with parsley before serving. Kålrotstappe is traditionally served alongside pinnekjott, a dish of cured lamb ribs.
