For an even smoother texture, pass the mashed vegetables through a food mill after mashing.
Roasting the garlic and carrot before adding them to the potatoes will enhance their sweetness and depth of flavor.
Substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for a richer, more decadent dish.
A pinch of nutmeg adds warmth and complexity.
Try adding a tablespoon of sour cream or crème fraîche for a tangy twist.
