Mashed Potatoes with Carrots and Leeks
|
Yield: 6 servings
Source: Gourmet Magazine - February 2004
Gourmet Comments: This recipe was inspired by stoemp, a Belgian dish of mashed potatoes with vegetables.
Amy's Comments: This took a little while longer to put together, but
we really liked this variation on mashed potaotes. It goes against my moral fiber, but I used FF ICBNB instead of butter. It was
fine. I also used skim milk - making this a CORE recipe. I should have used 1 cup of milk instead of 3/4
cup. I liked the carrots in this! (I normally am not a huge fan of cooked carrots). Would make this again!
INGREDIENTS:
1 leek (white and pale green parts only), coarsely chopped
2 lb potatoes, preferably Yukon Gold or russet (baking) potatoes
2 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter (I used 1/4c fat free margarine)
3/4 cup whole milk (I used skim milk)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Wash chopped leek well in a bowl of cold water, then lift out and
drain well.
- Peel potatoes and cut into 2-inch pieces. Cover with cold water in a
3- to 4-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer,
uncovered, until potatoes are tender, about 18 minutes. Drain and
return to saucepan.
- While potatoes are simmering, cook carrots in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart
saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes,
then drain. Cook leek in butter in a 10-inch skillet over moderately
low heat, stirring occasionally, until very tender, about 6 minutes.
Add milk, salt, and pepper and simmer, stirring, 2 minutes.
- Add leek mixture to potatoes and coarsely mash with a potato masher,
then stir in carrots.
