What to do when you have leftover sauce from your Undercover Carrot Mac & Cheese?? Pour it on top of steamed potatoes… what else??

Another way to sneak in carrots into your kids meals…

UNDERCOVER POTATOES

About 10 fingerling potatoes, washed well and cut in half

About ½ cup of leftover sauce from this recipe here

In a medium sauce pan place the fingerling potatoes. Add enough water to the bottom of the pan, where about half of the potatoes are still exposed. I find that potatoes cook better and faster when only a small amount of water is added to the pot.
Salt the potatoes and swirl the water in the pan for the salt to combine with the water.
Cover and let it boil/steam over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Check the potatoes for doneness. If they’re still underdone, let them go for about 2-3 minutes more and without uncovering, turn off the stove.
After about 10-15 minutes, the potatoes will be perfectly steamed and at the right temperature to handle. I sometimes take the skin off after I steam them… but that’s entirely if to you.
While the potatoes are resting, heat the leftover sauce. After it’s warm, pour on top of potatoes.

Serve with a nice side salad for a light dinner…
