Carrot Mashed Potatoes
These carrot mashed potatoes are a simple twist on classic mashed potatoes, blending tender potatoes and carrots into a smooth, colorful side dish.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the potatoes and carrots in a pot cover with cold water. Add about a teaspoon of salt to the water.
- Put the pot in the stove and bring to the boil. Cook for approximately 15 minutes, until the carrots and potatoes are soft.
- Drain the water and add the spices, butter and cream. Mash roughly with a fork or potato masher.
- Serve immediately garnished with fresh chopped chives.
Nutrition
Notes
- Cut vegetables evenly: Similar-sized potato and carrot pieces cook at the same rate for easier mashing.
- Salt the water well: Seasoning the cooking water helps flavor the vegetables from the inside out.
- Mash while hot: Potatoes and carrots mash more smoothly when they’re still warm.
- Add cream gradually: Start with less and add more as needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Avoid over mixing: Overworking the mash can make the potatoes gummy.
- Serving Suggestions: We love having the mashed potatoes with Creamy Lemon Chicken or Crockpot Mississippi Pot Roast.
