Cook prepared potatoes and carrots in salted water until tender, drain, and press or mash through a potato ricer until the desired consistency is reached. Stir in tahini, garlic, orange juice, and a little more milk or cream, if desired, until the desired consistency is reached. Season to taste with a pinch of cumin, salt, and pepper.
