500g swede (rutabaga), peeled and chopped

50g butter

2–3 tablespoons milk or cream

Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional: fresh thyme, grated nutmeg, or garlic for extra flavour

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables

Peel and chop the potatoes and swede into evenly sized chunks for even cooking.

2. Boil Until Tender

Add both vegetables to a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook for 20–25 minutes until soft.

Drain thoroughly and let steam evaporate for a minute to prevent watery mash.

Taste and add more butter, salt, pepper, or herbs depending on your preference.

6. Serve Warm
