1
Prepare the Vegetables
Peel the carrots and potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
2
Boil the Vegetables
In a large pot, add the cut carrots and potatoes. Cover them with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

3
Drain and Mash
Once the carrots and potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Return them to the pot. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash them together until smooth.
4
Add Butter and Milk
Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper to the mashed vegetables. Stir well until the butter is melted and everything is combined.

5
Serve the Dish
Transfer the mashed carrots and potatoes to a serving bowl. Optionally, garnish with a pat of butter or fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.
