1½ pounds potatoes
While the potatoes are coming to a boil, peel the carrots and cut into thick rounds.
2 large carrots
Once the potatoes are boiling add in the carrots. Boil for around 20 minutes til tender.
Drain the carrots and potatoes once cooked and set to one side.
Place the butter, cream, salt and pepper into empty pot and place on a low heat to melt the butter and warm the cream.
2 tablespoons salted butter, ¼ cup cream (35%), ½ teaspoon salt, a few pinches of black pepper
Place the potatoes and carrots in the cream and butter and mash everything together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve.

Don't cut the potatoes too small or they will easily become overcooked and waterlogged.

Start the potatoes cooking in cold water and bring up to a boil, add the carrots when the water is boiling. This will ensure that everything is evenly cooked through.

The cream and butter should be warm, this makes it easier for the potatoes to absorb.
