Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes, held in water until ready for use
Kosher salt
2 large carrots, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 to 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 stick cold butter, cut into pats

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a pot large enough to also accommodate the carrots. Add enough water to cover the vegetables by 2 inches, sprinkle generously with salt, and bring to a boil. When the water has been boiling about 10 minutes, add the carrots and cook until both vegetables are "fork tender". Drain.
  • Bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan. Meanwhile, pass the carrots and potatoes through a food mill into a large bowl. Add about one-quarter of the hot cream and 2 pats of the butter, stirring vigorously until thoroughly combined. Repeat this process until all of the remaining cream and butter have been incorporated. Taste for seasoning (you will probably have to add salt).

POTATO AND CARROT PUREE



Potato And Carrot Puree image

This puree is excellent, especially if served immediately after it is prepared. Although we could have used a food mill, we pureed the vegetables in a food processor. If you puree potato only in this manner it will get ''cordy'' but, with the addition of the vegetable cooking liquid and the carrots, the mixture takes on a creamy though slightly chunky consistency, with pieces of potato and carrot still visible throughout.

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, side dish

Time 40m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and carrots in a saucepan and cover with cool water. Bring to a boil and boil gently for 30 minutes, until tender.
  • Using a skimmer, remove the potatoes and carrots and place in the bowl of a food processor with one cup of the cooking liquid. Add the cream, butter, salt and pepper and process for 20 to 30 seconds, until creamy but still slightly chunky.
  • Serve as soon as possible, mounding the puree next to the sliced roast on each serving plate and spooning juice from the roast over it for added flavor.

For the soup:
2 medium sweet potatoes

1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups low-sodium chicken stock or water
Salt
For the garnish:

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Poke the sweet potatoes with a fork, wrap in aluminum foil, and bake in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

  • Choose the right potatoes and carrots: Look for sweet potatoes with smooth, unblemished skin and deep orange flesh. For carrots, choose firm and brightly colored ones.
  • Peel and chop the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Leave some space between the vegetables so they can cook properly.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender: You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
