It’s time again for the Crazy Cooking Challenge. This month we are looking for the Ultimate Mashed Potato recipe.
I chose these delicious Garlic Carrot Potatoes from The Purposed Heart. IÂ have to confess that I did change one thing from the original recipe. I added shredded cheese so my daughter would think the carrots were cheese and actually eat the mashed potatoes. I know, scandalous! It worked and these turned out very good! Great way to eat more veggies!

Ingredients
- 1-1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced (about 6 medium sized)
- 1-1/2 pounds carrots, peeled and diced (about 9 medium sized)
- 5-6 cloves garlic, peeled and finely minced
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1-1/2 teaspoons sea salt, to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper, to taste
- 1 – 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Place potatoes, carrots, and garlic in a medium-sized saucepan and cover with plenty of water. Bring water to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and cook until vegetables are tender and can be easily mashed, about 20-25 minutes.
- Drain the water.
- Add butter, salt, and pepper and mix well with an electric mixer or potato masher.
- Add in the milk to desired consistency.
- Stir in cheese just before serving (to hide the carrots from picky eaters).
