Personal Notes:
This is one of those "go big or go home recipes". Delicious and easy to make. You might as well triple the recipe and freeze it since everyone loves it. To triple the recipe, triple all of the above ingredients except the following: use 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 4 lbs carrots (weigh after peeling and cutting off ends), 12-16 oz potato, 4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1 1/2 tsp thyme, 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped.

No doubt, you will remember the time I used too much pepper and had to make another batch to dilute the first batch and so on and so on. Oy vey such a disaster. Serves 6.
