Mashed Potatoes & Carrots
There are many things you can add to mashed potatoes if we were running low on spuds, such as carrots, or even turnips. The bits of carrot stay a little firmer than the potatoes, so you get little pops of sweetness in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 pound carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 2 Tablespoons half-and-half or milk
- 1 medium green onion, minced
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Combine potatoes and carrots in a pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
- Mash potatoes and carrots with butter, half-and-half, green onion, salt, and pepper until desired consistency.
