Dilly Mashed Potatoes

The ultimate in creamy winter comfort food with a sunny color.

Serves 6

5 large potatoes (chopped)

4 large carrots (thinly sliced)

Boil together until soft. Drain, mash, and set aside.

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup / 60 ml green onions (thinly sliced)

11/2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped; or 1 teaspoon dried)

Melt butter in frypan and lightly sauté onions and dill. Add to potatoes.

1/2 cup / 125 ml plain yogurt or sour cream

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Stir into potatoes. Mix well and transfer to a greased 21/2-quart / 2.5-L casserole dish.

1/2 cup / 125 ml cheddar cheese (shredded; optional)

Sprinkle on top. Bake uncovered at 350F / 180C for 30 minutes. May be frozen before baking. If baking from frozen, bake 1 hour covered, then 20 minutes uncovered.
