"I have taken this to family reunions and pot lucks. I like it because it feeds a crowd, and its a great way to sneak in some extra veggies! The taste is smooth and yummy. I got it from my taste of home collection."

I also saw this on Taste of Home. Very delicious and could easily be doubled. A good potato side to have when you don't have any gravy.

We all loved this. I left chunked bits of carrot and potato because I like the texture. It was smoothy and creamy and the carrots gave ordinary mashed potatoes a deep, mellow flavor. Never thought to bake mashed potatoes but I loved the crusty edges it got from the oven. I can't wait to play around with this...maybe use more carrots or try different veggies. Thanks for sharing. Will definitely make again. ****UPDATE**** just used the leftovers this morning to make potato pancakes. Highly recommended!!
