Green Mashed Potatoes (can be used for Passover)

I am not Dr. Seuss but I CAN make Green Mashed Potatoes.  Besides using broccoli, I want to try this with spinach.  Should I write a book Green Potatoes and Butter?

Green Mashed Potatoes

I don't usually make colored food other than frosting or baked goods but this had a positive ring to it so I decided to follow through and see what happens.

Ingredients:
4 potatoes, peeled
1 bag  broccoli
1/2 cup potato starch
salt and pepper to taste
2 onions, chopped and sauteed
Method:
Boil potatoes for 25 minutes until tender.
Add the broccoli to the potatoes for the last three minutes.
Chop and saute onions.
Drain the potatoes and broccoli.
Mash potatoes.
Run the broccoli through a food processor using metal blade.
Add the broccoli and onions to the potatoes.
Add potato starch and seasoning.
Mix it all together and put it in greased pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Spray the top of the green potatoes and put it back on 500 degrees for five minutes to crisp the top.

    It sort of reminds me of pesto. I'd be tempted to top it with cheese on the second bake. Fun idea.

    This looks great! I think it would be perfect for Passover with my brisket. Nice change of pace from potato kugel. Thanks!

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
