belgian stoemp aux carottes carrot mashed potatoes

Desciption

this is a popular side dish in belgium. it usually goes with blood sausage (boudin) or strips of bacon, but i often serve it with sautéed chicken. go easy on the cream, you want it to have more substance than smooth mashed potatoes.

Steps

Heat a small skillet over high heat
Add the bacon and saut for 5 minutes until the bacon bits are well colored
Remove from heat and set aside
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil
Add potatoes and carrots
Cook for 20 to 25 minutes until the potatoes and carrots are well done or even slightly overdone
Drain the vegetables and place them in a salad bowl
Mash the vegetables with a fork
A potato masher or any other manual ustensil
It is important not to use an electric mixer so that the texture remains chunky enough
Add the bacon bits and let the diced pieces of butter melt on top of the mashed vegetables
Add cream and nutmeg
Season with salt and pepper
Toss well and serve
