Step 1
Start by tossing the carrots and potatoes into a big pot, then cover them with salted water. Bring everything to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer until the veggies are nice and tender—about 20 minutes. Once they’re cooked, drain the water and let them sit for a minute or two to steam dry.
