I always fell in love with my mother's mashed Irish potatoes and vegetable sauce. She makes her vegetable sauce with carrots,green beans, white onion, green peas and she also makes scrambled eggs which she keeps as a side dish. My mother loves to eat healthy and I have emulated her as a grown woman.
The way she makes this delicious vegetable sauce, you will certainly bite your fingers while eating. I always enjoyed how she mashed the Irish potatoes. The mashed Irish potatoes always brought this nostalgic aroma that my taste buds never resisted.
As an adult, I have not stopped loving this meal. I find myself still making this meal which I eat in happiness. Sometimes,I run home to my mother just because I want to have a taste of this meal. I realize that no matter how much i try to recreate this meal, i can never make it as good as my mother does. To think that she doesn't use any special ingredient makes me wonder why mine doesn't taste as good as hers. Or maybe the difference is in her hands. Her magical hands I guess .
Here is how to make the meal
