Boil water in a big enough pot/pan. Add 3 or so pinches of salt to water BEFORE boiling.

Peel and cut potatoes in quarters.

While the potatoes are in the water, slice the baby carrots into small pieces

Grab a small sauce pan, put carrots in the pan...set to low heat.

Take a little butter and toss it over carrots, stir it around until carrots get nicely glazed.

This is optional, but you can add a pinch of salt and garlic powder to the carrots. Let them heat up until they're a little soft.

Keep an eye on carrots so they don't burn, if they start to just turn the burner off and set aside.

Once water is boiling, toss potatoes in... and let them sit for a while until they soften, NOT mushy. BUT you do want them a little firm still! (Little hint, if you put a wooden spoon/fork over pot it will not boil over!) :-) :-)

!!!!! You want the potatoes where you can stick a fork in with very little effort!!!!!

Drain the potatoes, add the milk and butter to the pot.

Use a masher or whatever you prefer to mash potatoes with. Add the seasonings to your preferred taste. Add carrots.

Mash potatoes up until everything is mixed in well...and enjoy! :-)
