Helpful Tip--Veggie Mashed Potatoes

This is not a recipe but it is a tip.

When I'm boiling potatoes for mashed potatoes I throw in a handful of baby carrots. I make the potatoes like normal but they have an light orange color. I've convinced my daughter they are cheesy mashed potatoes.

I've done it with broccoli too and it is always a hit.

Now Diana wants pink mashed potatoes so I will have to try beets next! I'll let you know how it turns out!
