Provided by Minimalist Baker

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into large bite-sized pieces
4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped into large bite-sized pieces
Water
2-3 Tbsp dairy-free butter ((we prefer Miyoko's or Earth Balance // if not vegan, sub organic dairy butter))
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
Sea salt to taste
Additional butter of choice
Fresh parsley
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse, peel, and chop potatoes and carrots into large bite-sized pieces (see photo) and add to a large pot or Dutch oven. Cover with water by about 1 inch to ensure they're submerged.
  • Bring water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, slightly reduce heat to medium-high and continue cooking at a slightly less rapid boil for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are very tender (they should easily fall off a knife when pierced).
  • Drain carrots and potatoes and add back to the pot (or to a food processor or blender for a whipped purée effect). Add butter of choice, minced garlic, ginger, turmeric, and sea salt to taste. Mash (or purée) until smooth. We found a food processor to give the creamiest texture, but mashing works fine, too (it just leaves a bit more texture).
  • Add more butter (or a bit of water) as needed to get creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more butter for creaminess, spices to taste, or sea salt to taste.
  • Serve hot. Garnish with additional butter of choice, fresh parsley, and salt and pepper (all optional). Store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days.

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.
