Sweet Potato Turnip Mash With Sage Butter Recipes

RUTABAGA-SWEET POTATO MASH WITH GARLIC AND SAGE

Steps:

• In a pot, combine rutabaga and sweet potatoes; cover with water by a few inches and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook until easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 15 minutes. Drain.
• Return pot to medium heat; add butter. When it melts, add garlic and sage; cook 1 minute. Add cream; bring to a simmer, then remove from heat. Return rutabaga and sweet potatoes to pot; mash to desired consistency and season with salt and pepper. Serve.

MASHED TURNIPS AND SAGE

Steps:

• Add the turnips and potatoes to a large pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until soft and tender, about 20 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, add the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted and foamy, add the shallots and sage and saute until the shallot is tender, the sage is fragrant and the butter begins to brown. Season with salt and pepper. Add the milk and bring to a simmer. (This will infuse the milk with the sage flavor.)
• Drain the turnips and potatoes in a colander in the sink. Add the turnips and potatoes back to the pot they were cooked in. Add the hot milk and roughly mash the vegetables. If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender and puree until smooth and silky. Taste for seasoning, add salt and pepper.

SWEET POTATO & ORANGE MASH WITH SAGE BUTTER DRIZZLE

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 10 mins or until tender. Drain and put back in the pan over a low heat for 30 secs to dry out. Mash with olive oil, orange juice, zest and seasoning, then spoon into a serving dish.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the sage leaves. Cook until it begins to foam and bubble, and small brown spots appear in the butter. Pour over the mash and serve.

TURNIP MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Slice potatoes and turnips 1/4-inch thick. Cook in boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain.
• Whip cooked potatoes and turnips with electric mixer, mixing until moderately smooth (don't overbeat them; a few lumps are nice).
• Add hot cream, butter and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Whip again until blended.
• Adjust thickness by adding more cream, if desired.

TURNIP AND SWEET POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In an 8-inch square baking dish, arrange a single layer of turnips and sweet potatoes, overlapping slightly. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with one-third of the flour. Repeat to make 3 more layers, sprinkling with salt, pepper, and flour between layers. Dot top layer with butter, then slowly pour broth and wine into dish, keeping layers intact. Cover with foil and bake until vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife, 45 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. Remove foil and sprinkle cheese over dish. Bake until cheese is golden and bubbling, 12 to 15 minutes. Let gratin sit 10 minutes before serving.

MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH SAGE BUTTER

Steps:

• Cover sweet potatoes with water in a 2-quart heavy saucepan and add salt. Cook, covered, over moderately high heat until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking liquid, then drain sweet potatoes in a colander. Transfer sweet potatoes and reserved cooking liquid to a bowl and mash with a potato masher.
• Mash together butter, sage, and salt and pepper to taste, then stir half of sage butter into sweet potatoes. Serve potatoes topped with remaining sage butter.
