The idea for the recipe is to create a healthier mashed potato side dish that still tastes like garlic-mashed potatoes and *not* liked cooked carrots. That’s why I'd lean toward the lesser amount of baby carrots and experiment with adding more until you Cleo Coylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557517506340986862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-29593421665224400362013-03-03T19:10:07.690-05:002013-03-03T19:10:07.690-05:00Thanks, Krista!

My little secret for making sure all the water is off the potatoes is to put the pot back on the unlit burner . There is still enough heat in the grid to dry, but not burn. Now, this is for gas. I used to have electric and don't think I would have tried that.Sherylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-31958744065087536952013-02-27T14:30:05.896-05:002013-02-27T14:30:05.896-05:00We had 45 minutes of sunshine this morning.

I hope your weather doesn't prove too problematic (or even hazardous) for you and your neighbors. On the potato skins, we're in agreement. The skins are not only tasty but also the best part the tuber for fiber and vitamins.

We don't have red-skinned carrots in our markets, but beets might do the trick (although the taste may not be as appealing)!
