Author Notes: I could only find a large rutabaga today, I bought too many parsnips and carrots for an earlier recipe. What to do, what to do. So, I had all of our favorite roots in the house. It was suggested by my non-cooking husband to put them all together and mash away. So mash I did. Sometimes the most simple things are the best. - GiGi26

Serves 5 or 6

1 small rutabaga
2 carrots
2 parsnip
1 leek light green and white part only
2 potatoes
1/4 cup butter
salt and pepper to taste

Clean the leek and slice it thinly
Peel and cut the roots (vegetables) into equal sized pieces. About I inch.
Put all the vegetables in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and continue cooking until all are fork tender. About 20 minutes.
Drain and return to the pot.
Add butter and mash with a potato masher leaving some texture to the vegetables. Salt and pepper to taste.
