Sautéed Potatoes and Carrots

Total time: 30 minutes
   As carrots and potatoes cook in about the same amount of time, why not cook them together? I peel the carrots but only scrub the potatoes.  We use butter and oil together - the oil keeps the butter from burning, the butter adds flavor to the dish.

 Ingredients:

• 2 medium potatoes
• 3 medium carrots
• 1 tsp butter
• 2 tsp olive oil

 Instructions:

• Slice the potatoes - the long way, first in half, then in half again.  Now slice (the short way) about 1/4 inch thick.  We are aiming for bite size so if you have a huge potato, adjust accordingly.
• Slice the carrots the same, if they are large, cut in half the long way first.
• Heat butter and oil in a large skillet.
• Add potatoes, carrots and sauté until they are browning in spots and are cooked through, stirring and flipping as needed, about 20 minutes.
• Salt & pepper if desired, and serve.
