This Instant Pot rutabaga recipe is a lower-carb alternative to mashed potatoes and can easily be made in a fraction of the time using a pressure cooker. The mash has a nice creamy and chunky texture, which complements any meat. I especially enjoy it with corned beef.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water

  • 2 pounds rutabaga, peeled and chopped into 1-inch cubes

  • ¼ cup half-and-half

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

  1. Pour water into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and set the trivet inside. Place rutabaga into the steamer basket and set it inside the pot. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  2. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain rutabaga. Return rutabaga to the pot or place into a medium bowl.

  3. Add half-and-half, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to rutabaga and mash to desired consistency. The rutabaga will have a chunky texture. Serve warm.

Recipe Tips

The older the rutabaga, the longer it can take to cook, so you may need to add a couple of extra minutes to the cook time.

You can use a food processor if you prefer the mash to have a smoother texture.
