Carrot and Potato Puree
- 2 large Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes, held in water until ready for use
- Kosher salt
- 2 large carrots, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 stick cold butter, cut into pats
- Special Equipment: Food mill
- Place the potatoes in a pot large enough to also accommodate the carrots.
- Add enough water to cover the vegetables by 2 inches, sprinkle generously with salt, and bring to a boil.
- When the water has been boiling about 10 minutes, add the carrots and cook until both vegetables are "fork tender".
- Drain.
- Bring the cream to a boil in a small saucepan.
- Meanwhile, pass the carrots and potatoes through a food mill into a large bowl.
- Add about one-quarter of the hot cream and 2 pats of the butter, stirring vigorously until thoroughly combined.
- Repeat this process until all of the remaining cream and butter have been incorporated.
- Taste for seasoning (you will probably have to add salt).
- Serve immediately in a warm serving bowl or keep warm until ready to use.
