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.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are great choices for mashed potatoes, as they have a creamy texture and a mild flavor.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: To ensure that your mashed potatoes are fluffy and smooth, boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender. Do not overcook them, or they will become gummy.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: After the potatoes are cooked, drain them well in a colander. This will help to remove excess water and make the potatoes easier to mash.
  • Use a ricer or potato masher: A ricer is the best tool for making smooth and fluffy mashed potatoes. If you don't have a ricer, you can use a potato masher, but be sure to mash the potatoes until they are completely smooth.
  • Add warm milk and butter: Gradually add warm milk and butter to the mashed potatoes while stirring constantly. This will help to create a creamy and flavorful dish.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Add mix ins: Chopped carrots give these mashed potatoes extra color. Feel free to add garlic, herbs, or even cheese for extra flavor.
