Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes (scrubbed. Skins on is optional.)
  • 1 pound carrots (Scrubbed ~ I prefer to peel the carrots even though they are organic.)
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. butter (or dairy free substitute.)

Instruction

  • After scrubbing the potatoes and carrots, cut potatoes into medium size pieces.
  • Place in a kettle. Add enough water to just cover the vegetables and add salt.
  • Bring to a boil and cover. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 30 minutes.
  • Vegetables should be very tender.
  • Drain vegetables reserving at least 1 cup of the hot water.
  • Return potatoes and carrots to the hot pan, add butter and shake in some salt and pepper.
  • Start mashing, by hand or with an electric hand mixer. Add reserved water as needed or to your preference.
  • Add enough salt and pepper to desired taste.
  • Serve with or without the dollop of butter or dairy free substitute.
