Three-color mash with white, purple and carrot potatoes

Appetizers - Three-color mash with white, purple and carrot potatoes by Rafila D. - Recipia

Three-color mashed potatoes: white potatoes, purple potatoes and carrots, each mashed separately and bound with milk and butter. The purple potatoes give most of the color, and the carrot makes the mash orange. I choose floury potatoes, because otherwise the mash turns sticky and does not hold its shape. Prep: 20 minutes. Cooking: 24 minutes. Total time: 44 minutes. Servings: 10. About 210 kcal and 5 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg white potatoes
  • 1 kg purple potatoes
  • 2 carrots
  • 200 ml milk
  • 50 g butter
  • 2500 ml water
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Preparation

1. Peel the white potatoes, purple potatoes and carrots, then rinse them well. 2. Boil the white potatoes in 1000 ml water, the purple potatoes in 1000 ml water and the carrots in 500 ml water, separately, for 20 minutes, until they are soft when pierced with a fork. 3. Meanwhile, put the milk and the butter cut into cubes in a saucepan. Leave on low heat for 4 minutes, until the butter melts. 4. Drain the vegetables when cooked. Mash the white potatoes and the purple potatoes in separate bowls, then mix them a little, until they become a fluffy mash. 5. Cut the cooked carrots into small pieces and blend them in a chopper until they become a paste. 6. Add half of the white mash (500 g) to the carrot paste and stir until smooth. 7. Add to each of the three mashes 1/3 teaspoon fine salt and 1/6 teaspoon ground pepper. 8. Divide the milk and butter mixture into three equal parts, put one into each mash and stir until smooth. 9. Arrange the three mashes so the colors show well. I put them one by one into disposable containers and shaped them in round molds.

Notes

The mash keeps up to 3 days in the fridge, covered, and is reheated on low heat in a saucepan until hot. It goes well with roast chicken or roast pork, but you can serve it with whatever you like. It contains dairy because of the milk and the butter. Purple potatoes lose their color if they stay in water too long, so check them with a fork after 20 minutes. Thick carrots take longer, so cut them in half before boiling. When I make a double portion, I cook the white and the purple potatoes in separate pots, otherwise they do not fit. It is easiest to mash them while they are still hot.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use red potatoes instead of white ones?

You can, but their flesh is firmer and the mash turns out stickier, so pass them through a ricer, not just with a fork.

What if the purple mash turns grey?

It is probably from a variety with light flesh or from boiling too long. Choose potatoes with violet flesh and take them out of the water as soon as they give under a fork.

Why is the carrot mash stringy?

The carrot needs to be boiled until it gives way completely, otherwise the chopper will not turn it into a paste. If strings remain, blend it for another minute.
