AVOCADO MASHED POTATOES



Avocado Mashed Potatoes image

On a whim one night I threw some avocado into my mashies to stir things up a bit and was surprised at how much I liked them. My general rule of thumb is a quarter of an avocado per large russet potato, but feel free to use other spuds. It's a good, healthy way to make the potatoes creamy without bad fat. You can leave out the butter if you like. Make sure that if your avocado is a Reed that you only use half of it since they are usually quite large.

Categories     Potato

Time 20m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large russet potatoes (scrubbed or peeled)
1 avocado
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the potatoes into quarters.
  • Drop them in a quart of salted, boiling water and let cook for 10-15 minutes or until easily pierced by a fork.
  • Cut the avocado into four parts lengthwise and discard the rind and pit.
  • When the potatoes are done, drain them and immediately add the butter, avocado, salt and pepper to ensure the potatoes are still hot for best mixing.
  • Mash the ingredients together so that the avocado is mixed evenly throughout - I prefer a hand-held mixer with a blender or whisk attachment.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft when pressed gently. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have brown spots.
  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are a good choice for this recipe because they are creamy and have a mild flavor. You can also use other types of potatoes, such as russet or red potatoes, but the texture may be slightly different.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be cooked until they are easily pierced with a fork. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Mash the potatoes and avocados together: Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potatoes and avocados together until they are smooth and creamy. You can also use a food processor to mash the potatoes and avocados, but be careful not to over-process them.
  • Season the avocado potato mash to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Avocado potato mash is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or main course. It is also a good source of healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins. With its creamy texture and mild flavor, avocado potato mash is a great way to enjoy the benefits of avocados and potatoes.
