Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

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:

  • Wash chopped leek well in a bowl of cold water, then lift out and drain well.
  • Peel potatoes and cut into 2-inch pieces. Cover with cold water in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, about 18 minutes. Drain and return to saucepan.
  • 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.
  • Add leek mixture to potatoes and coarsely mash with a potato masher, then stir in carrots.

The mashed potatoes were good, but I found the carrots and leeks to be a bit too overpowering. I think I would have preferred them if they had been diced smaller.

These mashed potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more herbs or spices.

I'm not usually a fan of mashed potatoes, but this recipe changed my mind. The carrots and leeks added a really nice sweetness and crunch, and the herbs gave the dish a really nice flavor.
