Ingredients
POTATOES & CARROTS
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped into large bite-sized pieces
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped into large bite-sized pieces
- water
THE REST
- 2-3 Tbsp dairy-free butter (we prefer Miyoko's or Earth Balance // if not vegan, sub organic dairy butter)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- sea salt to taste
FOR SERVING optional
- Additional butter of choice
- fresh parsley
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Rinse, peel, and chop potatoes and carrots into large bite-sized pieces (see photo) and add to a large pot or Dutch oven. Cover with water by about 1 inch to ensure they’re submerged.
- Bring water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, slightly reduce heat to medium-high and continue cooking at a slightly less rapid boil for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are very tender (they should easily fall off a knife when pierced).
- Drain carrots and potatoes and add back to the pot (or to a food processor or blender for a whipped purée effect). Add butter of choice, minced garlic, ginger, turmeric, and sea salt to taste. Mash (or purée) until smooth. We found a food processor to give the creamiest texture, but mashing works fine, too (it just leaves a bit more texture).
- Add more butter (or a bit of water) as needed to get creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more butter for creaminess, spices to taste, or sea salt to taste.
- Serve hot. Garnish with additional butter of choice, fresh parsley, and salt and pepper (all optional). Store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days.
Notes
- *Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with the lesser amount of Miyoko's vegan butter, with 1/4 tsp sea salt, and without optional ingredients.
