We couldn't identify the source of this simply inexpensive and low fat recipe. The creator advises not to overwork the mashed potatoes, as they may turn gluey.
Ingredients: - 6 medium cloves garlic, peeled
- 3/4 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup low-fat firm silken tofu
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 1 1/2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- pinch of ground nutmeg
Directions: - In small saucepan, combine garlic and broth and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until garlic is very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Transfer broth to blender or food processor. Add tofu and oil and process until mixture is smooth and creamy. Set aside, and cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, in large saucepan, combine potatoes with enough cold water to cover. Add 1 tsp. salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Reserving 1/2 cup of potato cooking water, drain potatoes well.
- In large bowl, mash potatoes; gently stir in warm tofu mixture and enough reserved potato water to make smooth puree. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, pepper and nutmeg and serve.
