Notes
When making mashed potatoes, ensure that the potatoes are fully cooked by piercing them with a fork; they should be easy to break apart. For the carrot ribbons, be sure not to overcrowd the skillet to allow them to char properly. Adjust the seasoning of both the potatoes and carrots according to your taste preference. Using fresh ingredients like thyme will enhance the flavors of the dish.
