POTATO AND CARROT MASH



Potato and Carrot Mash image

I ate this often growing up, or some variation of it. My mom would always add things to the mashed potatoes if we were running low on potatoes - mostly carrots, but sometimes even turnip. The bits of carrot stay a little firmer than the potatoes, so you get little pops of sweetness in every bite.

MASHED POTATOES & CARROTS



Mashed Potatoes & Carrots image

This recipe is so simple but was not posted so I thought I would post it. I used left over cooked carrots and rather than reheat them I threw them in with the potatoes for the last 5 minutes cooking time. The amount of Carrot & potato should be about equal. You may add parsley, bacon, turnip or any other ingredient that you wish or have them plain like this recipe. Excellent way to use up left over veggies.

Tips:

  • Prick the potatoes before baking: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from exploding in the oven.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork or skewer into the center of the potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
  • Mash the potatoes and carrots together: Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potatoes and carrots until they are smooth and creamy. You can also use a food processor to make the process easier.
  • Add your favorite seasonings and ingredients: This is where you can get creative and add your own personal touch to the dish. Some popular additions include butter, milk, sour cream, garlic, herbs, and cheese.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes and carrots hot: This dish is best enjoyed immediately after it is made. You can also reheat it in the oven or microwave if necessary.
