["Boil the potatoes and carrots together for about 15 minutes,(Don't over-boil them because the consistency becomes too pasty.", "You can leave the potato peels on if you like but we think this works better with red potatoes than with russets.", "Drain the potatoes. Put into a large ceramic or glass bowl. Add the sauteed onion, warm milk, unsalted butter, cream cheese, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Mash with a fork, electric mixer or hand blender, or use one of those old-fashioned potato mashers (also called a \"ricer\"").""
