VEGETABLE SIDE DISH: FAUX "BAKED" POTATO (click here to print)

Medium Rutabagas
1 Stick Salted Butter
2 Tbs. Garlic – Minced
5 Slices Bacon – Cooked Crisp and Crumbled
1 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese – Shredded
¼ Cup Sour Cream
2 Green Onions – Chopped
Salt and Pepper – To Taste

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425 °
Peel and rinse Rutabagas.  Cut slits in the tops about ¼ inch apart and three-quarters of the way down so that the rutabagas are still attached at the bottom.  Gently fan out the slices, forcing them open but still keeping them attached.
Between each slice, tuck a thin slice of butter.  Spread 1 Tbs. of minced garlic over top of each rutabaga.  Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
Wrap rutabagas tightly in foil with the foil coming to a close at the top.  This will help retain the garlic butter that seeps from the rutabaga.
Place foiled-wrapped rutabagas on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.  Remove from oven, open foil and pour melted butter back over top of the rutabagas.  Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes to allow rutabagas to crisp and become golden brown. 
Top each rutabaga with a mound of cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.  Bake an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. 
Top with sour cream and green onions before serving.
