Hudspud

Emily & Her Sweet Tooth's Note:

My mom makes this often, she said one day her and my dad were boiling potatoes and said, why don't we throw some carrots in there? They add a splash of orange color to the potatoes and are delicious. I can't find another hudspud recipe on Google.

• Total Time: 45 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

Yield: 1.0 bowl

• 6 -8 potatoes (the brown ones are fine, peeled and cut up into chunks)
• 1/4 lb baby carrot (Mom says 'a handful', I'd use 1/4 of a bag)
• 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
• 1 -2 tablespoon milk
• salt & pepper

Directions:

1. Simmer potatoes, carrots, and red onion in a pot with water, uncovered, until cooked, about 30 minutes. Test with a fork to be sure, it should pierce the potatoes easily.
2. Drain and remove to a bowl.
3. Add butter or margerine, and a splash of milk--not much, because the carrots will make it watery. Add salt & pepper to taste. Beat with beaters until smooth.

Giving this a top rating because I have eaten a lot of "hudspud". Probably a recipe out there somewhere but my mother made these often growing up in Northern Ireland. She also added turnip. Didn't have a name for them before! A dash of nutmeg is good or some chopped cooked bacon (or bacon bits). Thanks for submitting.
