Primavera Mashed Potatoes

Directions

1. Scrub potatoes with vegetable brush under cold running water. Peel and dice potatoes. Place potatoes in medium saucepan and add the 2 teaspoons salt and cold water to cover completely. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.

2. Drain and set aside. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add mushrooms, leek, carrot, celery, and tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are transparent, about 3 to 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine vegetable mixture from skillet, cooked potatoes, and all remaining ingredients. Mash just until combined.
