MASHED POTATOES & CARROTS
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.
