Mashed Potatoes and Carrots with Egg (Eng/Esp)

Today I made some delicious mashed potatoes with carrots. I wanted to try something different for breakfast, so this seemed like the perfect choice. I added a hard-boiled egg to balance the flavors and make this recipe much more nutritious. Eggs are an ideal source of protein to give you energy first thing in the morning.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 2 potatoes
• 1 carrot
• Salt to taste
• Butter
• 2 tablespoons of powdered milk
• 2 cups of water

Preparation:

I washed the potatoes and the carrot, peeled them, and cut them into large pieces.

I put them in two cups of water to boil and added a pinch of salt. I let them boil for twenty minutes, then checked with a fork to make sure they were tender.

I also put an egg on to boil; it was ready in about fifteen minutes. This ensures they’re cooked all the way through. Once the time was up, I drained the water and waited a few more minutes, then submerged the egg in cold water to peel it. I sliced it and set it aside.

Similarly, I removed the potato and carrot pieces from the heat, let them cool, and drained them through a colander to remove excess water. Then I placed these pieces on a plate and mashed them, setting aside a few carrot pieces for garnish.

Shortly after, I added a tablespoon of butter and two tablespoons of powdered milk, mixing thoroughly so the purée would be creamy. Then I added the egg slices and garnished it with carrots; finally, I sat down to enjoy this delicious breakfast.
