preparation
1. Begin by peeling your potatoes and halving them, then peel the rutabaga And shred with a coarse grater. Prepare 2 separate bouquet garni with The fresh herbs, placing a larger part into the one planned for the Potatoes. Place potatoes along with bouquet garni of herbs in a large
2. Pot of water to boil. Do the same in a smaller pot for the rutabaga.
3. Boiling until tender but still intact, about 20 minutes.
4. Strain both the potatoes and rutabaga, allowing to cool to touch.
5. Remove bouquet garni and save for another application (can be frozen for added flavor in soups, stocks or stews.)
6. Once cooled a bit, chop or process rutabaga until minced. Then take potato halves and grate with a course grater. Place both in a large mixing bowl along with shredded cheese and mash until incorporated and smoothed a bit.
7. Place butter in warmed half and half adding pepper and whisk for a bit. Slowly adding butter mixture to potato mix and blend with a hand mixer until creamy.
8. Place mixture into a pastry bag and pipe onto a parchment lined
9. Baking sheet. Each mound should be about 3-4 inches wide.
10. Note: you can do any size you wish but mind the baking time.
11. Now we will want to sauté our garlic in the oil, until just fragrant, 30-60 seconds, but do not allow brown. Drizzle garlic oil over each mashed mound, then bake in a pre-heated oven at 425 degrees F, or until lightly golden and garlic begins to char a bit. Sprinkle with Fleur De Sel and serve.
