Dutch Potatoes

This is what my Grandma Hazel used to make instead of boring old mashed potatoes. I remembered it about a year ago and experimented by just putting it together, and I got it right on the very first try! Woo hoo! Now I also remember that she had a name for this dish and I don't recall what it was. If any of you know, or even have a guess, please put in it the Comments so that I can sleep better at night. No. Really.

3 or 4 potatoes, pealed and quartered (or smaller)
1 large sweet onion, pealed and cubed.
1 large carrot, pealed and cut up.
Cut up all of the veggies into similarly sized pieces so that they all get done at the same time. Cover with water, add a little sea salt, and boil for about 20 minutes or until they are all tender when speared by a fork.

Drain the pot of water, add 2 tablespoons of butter, a big dollop of vanilla or plain yogurt (grandma used sour cream, which you can substitute) and a bit more sea salt. Then mash it all together as you would potatoes.

Now this should feed 4 to 6 people, assuming you're not like me and can easily eat half of it while my "fat jeans" get tighter. But seriously, this is better than just plain white potatoes; carrots have more vitamins and bulk forming fiber, while onions are an excellent source of sulphur and other nutrients that we all need.

Enjoy!
