Kalrotstappe, also known as Scandanavian Mashed Rutabagas, is a traditional dish from Norway and Sweden that has been enjoyed since the 16th century. This vegan take on the classic recipe uses almond milk and potatoes to create a creamy and flavorful mash that pairs well with roasted meats or as a standalone side dish. Rutabagas, also known as swede, are a root vegetable that have a sweet and slightly nutty flavor. They are often used in soups, stews, and casseroles in Scandinavian cuisine.

Instructions

1.	Peel and chop the rutabagas and potato into small pieces.
2.	Boil the vegetables in a pot of salted water until tender.
3.	Drain the vegetables and add the almond milk, salt, and pepper.
4.	Mash the vegetables with a potato masher or immersion blender until smooth.
5.	Adjust the seasoning to your liking and serve warm.

PROS

Kalrotstappe is a vegan and dairy-free alternative to regular mashed potatoes.

It is also a great way to use up any leftover rutabagas you may have in your kitchen.

CONS

Rutabagas can be an acquired taste that not everyone may enjoy.

Additionally, the almond milk may not be suitable for those with nut allergies.
