1.   In a big pot, boil potatoes and carrots (covered with water) for about 15 to 20 minutes or until cracks on the potato skin appears. (Tip: pierce a potato with a toothpick. If you can pierce it with little resistance and the toothpick comes out clean, the potatoes & carrots are cooked).

7.   Refrigerate before serving.

COOKING TIP: 
You may add the optional ingredients (diced cheese, chopped onions, and spring onions) or a handful of raisins for added flavor.
