Creamy Mashed Whipped Carrots

My kids always loved this as toddlers. Adults like it, too. If you don't feel like whipping them with an electric mixer, just mashing will do.

• 2 1⁄2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced or 2 1⁄2 lbs  baby carrots
• 3  tablespoons butter

• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 3⁄4 teaspoon tarragon
• 1⁄2 teaspoon parsley

Directions

1. Place carrots in a large pot; cover with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender; drain.
2. Turn off stove heat. Place empty pot back on stove and dump in the drained carrots and the butter, cream cream cheese and cream. Mash all together.
