Looks like Guacamole doesn't it?Here is a recipe I just came up with today. Turned out pretty good! You just have to get over the mental block of green potatoes!
I think I will use the left overs to make Japanese style Croquettes tomorrow and will post that later.
Give it a try if you have some potatoes and an avocado needing to be eaten! It really is quite tasty!
Avocado Mashed Potatoes
About ¾ lb Potatoes
1 avocado
lemon juice
¼ cup soy or cow’s milk (I used soymilk, plain/unsweetened)
1 tablespoon butter
salt, white pepper to taste
garlic salt to taste, if desired
Peel and cut potatoes into large chunks. Cover in cool salted water in sauce pan and boil until pieces can be pierced with a fork (not too soft where they break when the fork goes in).
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and mash one avocado. Sprinkle with dash of fresh lemon juice (about 1 tsp is good). Sprinkle with some salt (about ½ teaspoon or as desired) and mix all well. Set aside.
Place the butter into the milk and melt in the microwave. Sprinkle the salt and pepper in and set aside.
When the potatoes are done, remove them from the water with a slotted spoon. Mash roughly in a bowl. Add the milk/butter mixture in about 3 portions to the potatoes, mixing thoroughly after each addition (use a hand beater or stand up mixer). Continue to mix to desired consistency (we like our mashed potatoes alittle lumpy in our home).
Lastly, add the avocado, folding in or mixing gently on low speed until evenly distributed into the potatoes.
Serve warm.
