Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large pot, combine the potatoes and carrots. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

03

Step

Drain the potatoes and carrots thoroughly using a colander. Return them to the pot.

04

Step

Add the butter, warmed half-and-half, minced green onion, salt, and pepper to the pot.

05

Step

Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the mixture to your desired consistency. For a smoother mash, use a ricer. For a rustic mash, use a potato masher. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot.

For an even richer flavor, brown the butter before adding it to the mash.
A pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, aromatic note.
Feel free to experiment with other root vegetables like parsnips or turnips.
Ensure the half-and-half is warmed to help it incorporate smoothly and prevent the mash from cooling down too quickly.
