It's time again for the reveal of the Secret Recipe Club recipe!! This month I was assigned to make a recipe from Tandy's blog, Lavender and Lime. I was intrigued by the ingredients she uses!! She uses things that I am not used to but I found so many looking so good! I seriously have a list of things to try. In the end, for this month, I chose something simple. Simple but extremely delicious.
Not only did carrots make the mashed potatoes look so much better than regular potatoes, they added a huge amount of healthiness that I loved! They tasted great and I will make my potatoes this way more often now!
Carrot and Potato Mash
Adaped from Lavender and Lime
6 potatoes
3 large carrots
2 tbsp. butter
Milk for thinning if necessary
Peel potatoes and carrots, chop into chunks and boil or steam until soft. Mash together along with butter and milk if necessary. You really can add more carrots or less depending on what you like. I'm not exactly sure the ratio and of course your size of carrots and potatoes will be different. It's a very simple and versatile dish.

This is definitely a great way to add some extra nutrients to those potatoes!
ReplyDeleteThe the added health perks from the carrots. Great side dish to have in the rotation.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried carrots in my mash. Will have to try that!
ReplyDeleteOhh.. that dish is just screaming september/october (my favourite time of year). Looks so yummy.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for a great rendition of my recipe! Have a super day :)

What a great twist on regular mashed potatoes! They sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteI'm just recently coming to learn that some of the best meals are the simplest to make. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteA nice change from just potatoes-the carrots add some lovely color and flavor to the mash. Looks easy, too!
ReplyDeleteMy sister-in-law makes a dish similar to this and brings to every family gathering, but she adds a ton of onion...I think I like your version better!
ReplyDeleteOoh, great way to healthify mashed potatoes! Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteThey are so colorful, I don't think I would ever get to pull this off with my kids! But, what a fun recipe!

I used to make a carrot and potato mash all the time! So yummy and one of my family's favorites - I put garlic in mine.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this before, what an interesting combination. I'm going to try adding some veg to my mashed potatoes next time. Thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteOh Yum! What a fun club. I need to go and check it out!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to add nutrients to mashed potatoes!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading the results of the Secret Recipe Club. It's fun that you were paired with a blog that offered ingredients that you wouldn't normally use.
ReplyDeleteGreat SRC choice! I love this idea. I am a fan of making mashed cauliflower, which tastes similar to potatoes.... this sounds like another great healthier mashed potato option!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great way to healthify the classic mashed potato. I'll have to try this sometime :)
ReplyDeleteWhat?? Why have I never thought to combine potatoes and carrots?? Love it.
ReplyDeleteGlad your comments are coming through!!
It came out looking so pretty...love it :) Sometimes my husband boils some radishes and adds that to his mashed potatoes, not as colorful but kinda nice.
ReplyDeletesimpe easy and awesome! i bet the carrot would be good with sweet potatoes too!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if hubby would go with this dish or not... but I also love the idea of using sweet potatoes. Thanks for looking at my SRC post. I'm having so much fun seeing everyone's creations
ReplyDeleteLooks great! SCR is turning out to be lots of fun -- so many new recipes to try!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combination! I can't wait to give it a try. Thanks for sharing your delcious recipe with the Hearth and Soul Hop.
ReplyDeleteI think I am making this tonight. My son is coming for dinner. Yum!
