Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Drain rutabaga. Return rutabaga to the pot or place into a medium bowl.

Step 3

Add half-and-half, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to rutabaga and mash to desired consistency. The rutabaga will have a chunky texture. Serve warm.
