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]]}}.

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).
