Underground Mash

Something for anyone who's bored with the usual mashed potatoes. I call it Underground Mash because everything in it grows, well, underground!  I used swede, carrots and baby potatoes but if you can't find swede, you can use sweet potato or turnip as a substitute.

1 medium swede peeled and cubed

3 large carrots chopped into large chunks

10 baby potatoes cubed skin on

5 whole cloves garlic

1/2 c. butter

1/2 c. whole milk

1 tsp. dried rosemary

1 tsp. dried thyme

salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste

Boil swede on high in lightly salted water for about 30 minutes or until fork tender. In a separated pot, boil potatoes, carrots and garlic cloves for about 15 minutes or until fork tender. Strain all vegetables together and whilst still hot, add all other ingredients and mash or blend to desired smoothness.
