Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 2 cups sweet potatoes peeled and chopped into small cubes
  • 1 cup carrots peeled and chopped into small pieces
Dairy
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter to add creaminess
  • 1/2 cup milk use whole milk for a richer flavor
Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper optional, for added flavor

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large pot, place the chopped sweet potatoes and carrots. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until both vegetables are fork-tender. Drain the vegetables well.
  2. Return the drained sweet potatoes and carrots to the pot. Add the butter and milk, then use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash until completely smooth and creamy. Adjust the milk as needed for your desired consistency.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to combine. Serve warm in bowls.

Notes

Texture Tips: To achieve the softest texture, ensure the sweet potatoes and carrots are cooked until fork-tender, which typically takes around 20-25 minutes. For those needing an even smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture fully. You can also add more milk to reach your preferred creaminess.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of milk to restore creaminess and heat gently on the stove or in the microwave. The mash is ready when it is creamy and smooth, with no chunks remaining.
