Mash the Carrots • Mix in the butter, salt & pepper, and garlic powder. • Mash the carrots using a hand masher or fork, until carrots are evenly mixed. • If you prefer the mixture extra smooth, use an immersion blender or food processor until carrots reach desired consistency.

COMPANY MASHED CARROTS

Steps:

• Place carrots in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook, covered, 15-20 minutes or until very tender. Drain carrots; return to pan., Mash carrots with remaining ingredients by hand or puree in a food processor until blended.

CARROT MASH

Steps:

• Peel and roughly chop 2 pounds carrots. Cook in boiling salted water until soft, about 20 minutes; drain. Puree with 3 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil with 1 teaspoon each grated ginger and orange zest; drizzle over the mash.
• Use a food processor or immersion blender to puree these veggies-they're too fibrous for a potato masher.

MASHED GARLIC CARROTS

Steps:

• Steam the carrots until cooked through (I usually like them crisp in the center, but that will not work here).
• Mash the carrots with a fork or potato masher and add the roasted garlic.
• Add the stock and the thyme and mix well.
• Add your salt and pepper to taste.
• Simply multiply recipe for bulk/freezer cooking.

MASHED POTATOES WITH CARROTS

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes and carrots together for about 15 minutes,(Don't over-boil them because the consistency becomes too pasty.
• You can leave the potato peels on if you like but we think this works better with red potatoes than with russets.
• Drain the potatoes. Put into a large ceramic or glass bowl. Add the sautéed onion, warm milk, unsalted butter, cream cheese, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Mash with a fork, electric mixer or hand blender, or use one of those old-fashioned potato mashers (also called a "ricer").
• In our house we go easy on the salt and heavier on the carrots, adding a couple more to the mix. This recipe is good with any kind of potato, but we prefer red-skinned and leave the peels on.
• Tip: In order to blend the flavors together more thoroughly, put the bowl (make sure it's oven-safe) into a 300-degree oven for ten to fifteen minutes.
