Step 1
Peel and chop the 4 potatoes into chunks. Place in a pot, cover with water, and boil until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
While potatoes cook, season the 4 drumsticks with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the butter in a skillet over medium-high and brown the chicken on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the 3 carrots (peeled and sliced) and 1 cup chicken broth to the skillet. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through and carrots are tender, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and mash with the remaining 1 tbsp butter and a splash of broth from the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Serve the chicken and carrots over the mashed potatoes, spooning the pan juices over the top.
