Creamy Carrot-Potato Boats image

About 7 or 8 years ago, I compiled a cookbook of my own and gave it to my family and friends for Christmas that year. It's got 469 pages of my favorite great recipes. This is one of them. I love potatoes and I love carrots. So, for me, this is just a win-win recipe!
