This is delicious with yogurt. I mixed regular and sweet potato with the rutabaga. Turned out to be a big hit with the family. This may seem obvious, but it yields way more than "2 servings." :)
I used yogurt and added a couple of carrots. Nice color!

Great combo. I used about an equal amount of potato and rutabaga, a large splash of 1/2 and 1/2 instead of the buttermilk, and omitted the nutmeg. Used a potato masher and then immersion blender. Left specks of rutabaga showing through. Real comfort food.
Rutabaga was 2 lbs so I doubled the recipe -- rutabaga needs more than a 10 mins headstart -- the slightly chunky bits of rutabaga are a nice contrast to the mashed potatoes -- I used yogurt and heavy cream, lots of pepper and salt with just a 1/4 tsp of nutmeg -- could take this recipe in many directions or just stay with this simple, tasty combo -- I love root veggies so this goes on the list! Maybe tomorrow morning I'll pan fry some of this and put a fried egg on top for breakfast -- yum!
I think something was wrong with your rutabega. Mine cooked up just fine. I added white potatoes and the result was silky and delicous.
