Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 medium cloves garlic -- peeled

3/4 cup vegetable broth

1/2 cup low-fat firm silken tofu -- (4 oz.)

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes -- (4 medium) peeled & cut into 2 "

chunks

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 pinch ground nutmeg

 

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. Cover to keep warm.

 

Meanwhile, in large saucepan, combine potatoes with enough cold water to cover.

Add 1 teaspoon 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. Reserve 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 teaspoon

salt, pepper and nutmeg and serve.

NOTES : Mashed potatoes are the ultimate comfort food, but traditional versions

rely on too much fat for flavor. This delicious dairy-free mash replaces the fat

with a tasty " cream " of poached garlic, vegetable broth and silken tofu. Do not

overwork mashed potatoes or they turn gluey. A food mill produces the silkiest

consistency, a potato masher also works fine, but never use a food processor.
