Saint Patrick's Green Mashed Potatoes (Vegan Friendly) image

Found on the blog rhrecipes.com. Psst-you could "sneak" in a small parsnip or two for added nutrition and the kiddos would never suspect. My two gold coins worth. No green dye was used in the preparation of this recipe-lucky you! Please *NOTE*: the food.com site is not working properly and I have been unable to add this ingredient to the list: 4 tablespoons sour cream (or substitute plain yogurt, creme fraiche, [soy] mayonnaise, cream cheese, etc.) A sprinkle of fresh or dried parsley either mixed into the potatoes or garnished on top would make a nice final touch and maintain the spirit of the green theme!

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 russet potatoes, scrubbed well, peeled and cut up into chunks (depending on the size, I usually quarter or eighth)
8 ounces frozen green peas (no need to thaw)
4 tablespoons butter (or butter substitute)
salt and pepper, to taste (I used a small pinch of white pepper)
milk (or milk substitute-I warmed the milk first)

Steps:

  • *Please read the recipe introduction first for special note.
  • Boil potatoes in a large pot of salted water until soft.
  • Add the peas the last 4-5 minutes of cooking. Check peas for doneness, then drain them and potatoes in a colander.
  • Return the peas and potatoes to the pot. Next, add butter, *sour cream (or substitute), salt and pepper. Mash until pureed and there are *no* visible traces of the green peas (for those picky eaters of yours!).
  • Add milk or milk substitute to desired creaminess. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  • Servings are estimated.
