Belgian Stoemp Aux Carottes (Carrot Mashed Potatoes) image

This is a popular side dish in Belgium. It usually goes with blood sausage (boudin) or strips of bacon, but I often serve it with sautéed chicken. Go easy on the cream, you want it to have more substance than smooth mashed potatoes.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

500 g potatoes, peeled and diced into small chunks
300 g carrots, peeled and sliced
100 g bacon, cut into bits
50 g butter
100 ml heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat a small skillet over high heat.
  • Add the bacon and sauté for 5 minutes until the bacon bits are well colored.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add potatoes and carrots.
  • Cook for 20 to 25 minutes until the potatoes and carrots are well done or even slightly overdone (they will be easier to mash).
  • Drain the vegetables and place them in a salad bowl.
  • Mash the vegetables with a fork, a potato masher or any other manual ustensil. It is important not to use an electric mixer so that the texture remains chunky enough.
  • Add the bacon bits and let the diced pieces of butter melt on top of the mashed vegetables.
  • Add cream and nutmeg.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss well and serve.
