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.

1 leek (white and pale green parts only), coarsely chopped
2 lb potatoes, preferably Yukon Gold or russet (baking) potatoes
2 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • While potatoes are simmering, cook carrots in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes, then drain. Cook leek in butter in a 10-inch skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until very tender, about 6 minutes. Add milk, salt, and pepper and simmer, stirring, 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the smoothest mashed potatoes, use a potato ricer or food mill to mash them.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer or food mill, you can mash the potatoes with a potato masher until they are smooth.
  • Add milk, butter, and salt to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or black pepper.
  • For a creamy mashed potato dish, add a little bit of sour cream or cream cheese.
  • For a cheesy mashed potato dish, add a cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • For a crispy mashed potato dish, top them with grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs before baking them in the oven.
  • Mashed potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve them.
  • To reheat mashed potatoes, place them in a saucepan over low heat and stir until they are warmed through.
  • You can also reheat mashed potatoes in the microwave. To do this, place them in a microwave-safe bowl and heat them on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring once during the cooking time.
