Method

Cook the swede in a pan of simmering water for 20 mins or until very tender. Drain well, then leave to steam-dry for a few mins. Transfer to a food processor and pulse to a thick, textured purée. Put in a bowl and beat in 30g butter; season.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter in a small saucepan. Once hot, fry the sage leaves until crispy and the colour has changed to a dark green. Gently spoon the sage leaves and their butter over the mash to serve; season with black pepper.
