Mashed Potatoes With Carrot Recipes

MASHED POTATOES AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Put potatoes & carrots in a large saucepan, then cover with about 2 inches of lightly salted cold water.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover & boil slowly for about 20 minutes, or until both vegetables are very tender. Drain thoroughly & reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Mash vegetables, then add the butter & the reserved hot cooking liquid, beating until the mixture is fairly smooth.
• Add the cream, salt & pepper & beat until nearly smooth ~ Small lumps of carrot are not a problem!
• Reward over low heat, beating constantly, then serve. DO NOT COVER AFTER THEY ARE MASHED, OR THE VEGETABLES WILL BECOME MUSHY.

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.

• Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. When foaming subsides, add carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until butter is browned and carrots are caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes. (If after 4 minutes vegetables have not started to brown, increase heat to medium-high.).
• Add potatoes, broth, and 3/4 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Cook, covered, over low heat (broth should simmer gently; do not boil), stirring occasionally, until potatoes fall apart easily when poked with fork and all liquid has been absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. (If liquid does not gently simmer after a few minutes, increase heat to medium-low.) Remove pan from heat; remove lid and allow steam to escape for 2 minutes.
• Gently mash potatoes and root vegetables in saucepan with potato masher (do not mash vigorously). Gently fold in milk, parsley, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, or freeze for future use.
