There’s one side dish that my family’s Thanksgiving table is never complete without. My grandmother’s mashed rutabagas, or “rooties” as we call them, are like Lindsay Lohan at a nightclub circa 2005: always making an appearance. We might fry the turkey or dry-brine it, we might sub Brussels sprouts for green beans, we might even celebrate on Zoom across three different countries. But the one thing, even in 2020, that will remain the same is the rutabagas.
What is that dish for your family’s Thanksgiving? Mashed potatoes? Green bean casserole?
