Pressure Cooker Rutabaga Mash

Pressure Cooker Rutabaga Mash delivers a creamy, slightly sweet root-vegetable mash with buttery richness and a gentle garlic note. It’s a comforting lower-carb stand-in for mashed potatoes that pairs well with roasted meats or holiday mains, and it’s equally great for weeknight dinners when you want something cozy and satisfying.

Pressure Cooker Rutabaga Mash
  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Release the pressure carefully using the quick-release method per the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain the rutabaga. Take the trivet out of the Pot. Return the rutabaga to the Pot or transfer it to a medium bowl.

  3. 3

    Add half-and-half, butter, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the rutabaga; mash to your preferred consistency. The rutabaga will have a chunky texture. Serve warm.
