Sounds good to me too. My mother use to make the following:

Cook carrots and onion for about 10 min. and then add potatoes. Add salt to water, (with just enough water to cover), when all are cooked, you don`t drain, you mash the veggies, and add milk or cream, and add a dab of butter when serving.

I always added parsley flakes to mine. I think a dash of nutmeg would give it an added touch of flavour too. Chefs on the Food Network seem to think nutmeg goes with potatoes.
