Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Potato and Carrot Mash.
Step 1
Start by gathering a large pot and adding your cubed potatoes and carrot chunks.
Step 2
Pour in enough water to cover them completely, then place the pot over high heat and bring it to a lively boil.
Step 3
Once you see those bubbles dancing, lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer gently for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.
Step 4
After they’re cooked to perfection, carefully drain the water and return the potatoes and carrots to the pot.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to add a touch of creaminess! Toss in some butter, half-and-half, and minced green onion, along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Step 6
Grab a potato masher and blend everything together until you achieve your preferred texture—whether you like it silky smooth or a bit chunky, it’s all up to you! Before serving, take a moment to taste your creation and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 7
Enjoy this comforting dish that’s sure to warm your heart and satisfy your taste buds!.
