Carrot-Sweet Potato Mash

This side dish reminds me of the fall and all of the flavors that I look forward to cooking with.

Step: 1

Place carrots and potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.

Step: 2

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then stir in the applesauce and brown sugar until dissolved. When the potatoes are ready, transfer to a serving bowl and mash until smooth. Then fold in the applesauce mixture and raisins.

One of most clear way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose something different. If you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple vegetable . Made steak? Go for something light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But often you can make a dish do more often .
