=== Europe ===

==== Netherlands ====
In the Netherlands, rutabaga is traditionally served boiled and mashed. Adding mashed [[potatoes]] (and, in some recipes, similarly mashed vegetables or fruits) makes {{Lang|nl|[[stamppot]]}} 'mash pot', a dish often served alongside smoked sausage. Similar dishes are known in the Southern low countries, down to and including Brussels, as [[stoemp]].

===== Sweden and Norway =====

In Sweden and Norway, rutabaga is cooked with [[potato]] and sometimes [[carrot]], and mashed with [[butter]] and either stock or, occasionally, [[milk]] or [[cream]], to create a puree called {{lang|sv|rotmos}} (Swedish, literally 'root mash') or {{lang|no|kålrabistappe}} (Norwegian). [[Onion]] is occasionally added. In Norway, {{lang|no|kålrabistappe}} is an obligatory accompaniment to many festive dishes, including {{lang|no|[[smalahove]]}}, {{lang|no|[[pinnekjøtt]]}}, {{lang|no|[[raspeball]]}} and salted [[herring]]. In Sweden, {{lang|sv|rotmos}} is often eaten together with cured and boiled [[ham hock]], accompanied by [[Mustard (condiment)|mustard]]. This classic Swedish dish is called {{lang|sv|[[fläsklägg med rotmos]]}}.

===== Finland =====
[[File:Lanttulaatikko.jpg|thumb|{{Lang|fi|[[Lanttulaatikko]]}}]]
Finns eat and cook rutabaga in a variety of ways. Rutabaga is the major ingredient in the popular Christmas dish ''[[lanttulaatikko]]'' (rutabaga casserole), one of the three main casseroles served during Finnish Christmas, alongside the potato and carrot casseroles.

Uncooked and thinly [[Julienning|julienned]] rutabaga is often served as a side dish salad in school and workplace lunches. [[Raisin]]s or canned [[pineapple]] in light syrup are often added to the rutabaga salad. Sometimes, thinly sliced raw [[carrot]]s are mixed with rutabaga.

Finns use rutabaga in most dishes that call for a root vegetable. Many Finnish soup bases consist of potatoes, carrots, and rutabagas.

Finnish cuisine also roasts, bakes, boils, and grills rutabagas. Oven-baked root vegetables are another home-cooking classic in Finland: rutabaga, carrots, beetroots, and potatoes are roasted in the oven with salt and oil. [[Karelian hot pot]] ({{Lang|fi|karjalanpaisti}}) is a popular slow-cooking stew with root vegetables and meat cooked for a long time in a Dutch oven.

Finnish supermarkets sell alternative [[potato chips]] made from root vegetables, such as rutabagas, beetroots and carrots.

Rutabagas are also an ingredient in {{Lang|fi|lanttukukko}} (rutabaga-{{Lang|fi|kukko}}, a traditional [[Savonian people|Savonian]] and [[Karelians|Karelian]] dish).

===== England =====
In England, swede is boiled with carrots and mashed or pureed with butter and ground pepper. The flavoured cooking water is often retained for soup or as an addition to gravy. Swede is also a component of the popular condiment [[Branston Pickle]]. The swede is also one of the four traditional ingredients of the [[pasty]] originating in [[Cornish cuisine|Cornwall]].

===== Scotland =====
In Scotland, separately boiled and mashed, swede (''neeps'') and potatoes are served as "neeps and {{Lang|sco|[[tatties]]}}" ({{Lang|sco|tatties}} being the [[Scots language|Scots]] word for potatoes), in a traditional [[Burns supper]], together with the main course of [[haggis]] (the Scottish national dish). Neeps mashed with potatoes are called [[clapshot]]. Roughly equal quantities of neeps and tatties are boiled in salted water and mashed with butter. Seasoning can be augmented with black pepper. Onions are never used. Regionally, neeps are a common ingredient in soups and stews.

===== Wales =====
Swede is an essential vegetable component of the traditional Welsh lamb broth called [[cawl]]. A mash produced using just potato and swede is known as {{lang|cy|ponsh maip}} in the North-East of the country,<ref>{{Cite web |title=BBC – Geirfa'r gogledd ddwyrain |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/cymru/cymraeg/safle/tafodiaith/tudalen/tafodiaith_gogleddddwyrain.shtml |access-date=16 March 2018 |website=www.bbc.co.uk |language=cy |archive-date=10 August 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180810120732/http://www.bbc.co.uk/cymru/cymraeg/safle/tafodiaith/tudalen/tafodiaith_gogleddddwyrain.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref> as {{lang|cy|mwtrin}} on the Llyn peninsula and as {{lang|cy|stwnsh rwden}} in other parts.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Amser Bwyd |url=https://amgueddfa.cymru/casgliadau/amser-bwyd/?id=21 |access-date=16 March 2018 |website=Amgueddfa Cymru |language=cy |archive-date=24 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180224173219/https://amgueddfa.cymru/casgliadau/amser-bwyd/?id=21 |url-status=live }}</ref>
