Savory Avocado Wasabi Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Drain potatoes, and transfer to a bowl. Add butter, and mash with a potato masher or electric mixer until potatoes are starting to become smooth. Add milk and sour cream, and mix to your desired texture. Careful not to over mix the potatoes once they are creamy. Season with garlic, basil, salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Peel and quarter the potatoes, then wash them thoroughly.
• Place the potatoes in a large pot with enough cold, salted water to cover them and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 min, or until cooked through, and drain.
• Meanwhile put butter, lemon and garlic in a saucepan over very, very low. Let it simmer for 20-30 minutes. Discard lemon and garlic.
• Gently mash the avocado.
• When potatoes are done, drain and mashed to your liking. Fold in avocado and butter.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• If you like creamer mashed potatoes, you can add some milk.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Remove papery outer skin of garlic bulb. Rub with olive oil and place on a small baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until skin can be easily pierced with a fork.
• While garlic is roasting, peel and quarter the potatoes. Place in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and allow potatoes to simmer until very soft, about 20 minutes. Drain water and mash potatoes with butter until smooth and fluffy.
• Squeeze softened garlic cloves out of skin into pot; in a small bowl, mix wasabi powder with just enough water to form a thick paste. Mash garlic and wasabi paste into potatoes, pour in milk and continue to mash until mixture is light and fluffy; season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, cut them into quarters then cook in boiling, salted water until they are fork tender.
• While the potatoes boil, cook the bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces.
• Drain the potatoes and then return them to the cooking pan. Turn the heat to low and allow the potatoes to sit in the pan until all of the visible moisture has evaporated (about 2 minutes), then remove them from the heat.
• Melt the butter in a small saute pan. Thinly slice the shallot and add it to the melted butter. Cook the shallot for 5 minutes over moderate heat until it is softened and just beginning to turn light golden in color, then remove from the heat.
• Add the half and half to the potatoes and mash them well with a hand masher. Remove the pit and scrape the avocado from the skin and add it directly to the potatoes, then mash again until smooth. Stir in the butter and shallots and cooked, crumbled bacon. Stir in the wasabi paste and season with salt and pepper.
• Scoop the potatoes into a serving bowl and scatter the thinly sliced green onions over the top. Sprinkle the black sesame seeds over the top and serve.

Season potatoes to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Cover and keep at room temperature. Rewarm mashed potatoes over low heat, stirring frequently.)

Steps:

• Puree all ingredients together well, adding sake or other dry white wine to the desired consistency, then chill for at least 1 hour.
• Serve as dressing.

• Note: make sure to use a fully ripe avocado for this recipe! It needs to be ripe and rich - Californian (Haas or Gwen) avocados have a buttery and richer flavor than avocados from Florida or other areas. Otherwise your dressing will come out tasting a little flat.
