22. ## **Step-by-Step Instructions**
24. ### **1. Prepare the Swede**
25. - Peel the swede using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler. Cut it into evenly sized cubes (about 2 cm) to ensure even cooking.
26. - Place the diced swede in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
28. ### **2. Cook the Swede**
29. - Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the swede for 20-25 minutes, or until it’s fork-tender.
30. - Drain the swede thoroughly in a colander to remove excess water.
32. ### **3. Mash the Swede**
33. - Return the cooked swede to the pot. Add the butter and cream (or milk) while the swede is still warm.
34. - Use a potato masher or fork to mash the swede until smooth. For a creamier texture, use a hand blender or food processor.
35. - Season with salt, black pepper, and optional nutmeg or thyme. Mix well and set aside.
37. ### **4. Prepare the Crispy Shallots**
38. - Heat the oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced shallots in a single layer.
39. - Cook the shallots, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy (about 8-10 minutes). Be careful not to burn them.
40. - Remove the shallots with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
42. ### **5. Assemble the Dish**
43. - Transfer the mashed swede to a serving bowl. Top with the crispy shallots just before serving to maintain their crunch.
44. - Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added color and flavor.

50. - **Crispy Shallots:** Thinly slice the shallots for even cooking and maximum crispiness.
51. - **Make-Ahead Option:** Prepare the mashed swede in advance and reheat it gently on the stovetop. Add the crispy shallots just before serving.
