How to Make Belgian Stoemp Aux Carottes Carrot Mashed Potatoes

  1. Dice the bacon and cook in a small skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside, reserving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan.
  2. Peel and cube the potatoes and chop the carrots.
  3. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and carrots and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
  4. Drain the vegetables well and return them to the pot.
  5. Mash the vegetables using a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky. Avoid using an electric mixer.
  6. Stir in the reserved bacon fat, diced butter, and crispy bacon bits. Allow the butter to melt completely.
  7. Add the heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm as a delicious side dish!
