Peel the swede, and dice into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a pot, and cover with water. Boil on medium-high heat until they are soft enough to easily pierce with a fork. This usually takes about 15 minutes.
1 swede
Drain off any excess water, and use a potato masher or fork to mash the swede.
Add your butter, cream, salt, and pepper to the mash.
1 tablespoon butter, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Stir to combine the ingredients. Add more salt and pepper to taste if needed. Serve immediately.

Store any leftovers in a fridge for up to 4 days.
Feel free to substitute some of the swede with parsnips, carrots or potatoes to make a mixed root vegetable mash. This is a great way to change up the recipe, and a fantastic opportunity to use up leftover vegetables from your fridge!
