- Add to a large mixing bowl with all remaining ingredients, and mix well with a wooden spoon.The carrots and potatoes should still be a little hard, and mixing shouldn't cause them to fall apart or mush.

- Uncover foil and broil for 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven, and serve immediately.
- Warmed-over leftovers of this dish are delicious.
