While I have often disparaged my mother's cooking in the past, there were a couple of things she got right when the wind blew in the right direction. One was her mixed potato and carrot mash with butter and nutmeg. Real comfort food.
Tonight I made some. I tend to go for a more carrot heavy mixture than she did, but that's me. With simply seasoned, fried pork medallions and asparagus (something my mother certainly never cooked).
