Zubereitung von Mashed Potatoes And Carrots
- Cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan, crumble, and set aside; reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of bacon grease and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and carrots to the pot and cook until the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are very tender.
- If there is excess liquid, increase heat to medium-high and cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until the liquid evaporates.
- Remove from heat and mash the vegetables using a potato masher until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly, until you reach your desired consistency. You may need more or less milk depending on the type of potatoes used.
- Stir in the butter, salt, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Stir in half of the crumbled bacon. Serve immediately, topped with the remaining bacon bits.
