Since I’m Canadian and couldn’t use Thanksgiving as an excuse to make this veggie mash, Kevin and I planned a get together with our friends last weekend where I served up this mash, along with a big sirloin beef roast. It was epic!

At first I thought that maybe the mash would need oil (I’ve never made mashed potatoes without oil), but the combination of starchy veggies and dill, make this mash light and refreshing with just the perfect balance of comfort.

The recipe is perfect, just as it is.
