Herbed Rutabaga Mashed Potatoes

Rutabaga's are a really interesting food that are somewhere between a cabbage and a turnip. They can be mashed like potatoes, but are twice as flavorful. A couple weeks ago I found a whole bunch of them being sold for $0.10 a piece so I figured hey, lets go for it. These poor little things went through a lot before they finally made it into this lovely dish you see below. I bought them, put them in the car, put them in my parents house, back in the car, to our house, into the fridge and finally into a pot. Whew! Show your appreciation for these hearty little vegetables by making this recipe.
