Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
10 cloves garlic
1 pound organic Yukon Gold potatoes, cut in 1/2 to 1-inch chunks
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions
Remove outer papery skins from garlic cloves but don't peel. Pan
roast the cloves in a covered skillet over medium heat. Shake the
skillet frequently to mix the cloves up. Roast until soft. Mine took
about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool. Peel and mince.
Cover the potato chunks with cold water. Add salt. Boil until tender.
Mine took about 25 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Drain
the potatoes.
Place potatoes, oil, and garlic in a bowl. Mash with a potato masher,
adding reserved cooking liquid until you get your desired texture. Salt
and pepper to taste.

Vegan Quesadillas
Ingredients
tortillas (I used spinach)
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
juice from 1/2 small lime
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
roasted garlic mashed potatoes
red onion, diced
corn kernels
cilantro, chopped
salsa as a condiment
Directions
- Place the beans, lime juice, and chipotle powder in a bowl. Mash
beans with potato masher so that some of the beans are mashed but some
remain intact. You want a spreadable mixture.
- Spread the bean mixture on the entire surface of a tortilla. Spread
the mashed potatoes over half of the surface. Sprinkle onion, corn, and
cilantro on top of the mashed potatoes. Fold tortilla over in half so
that your bean mixture is on the top and bottom with mashed potatoes in
the middle.
- Fry in a skillet until heated through and slightly browned on both
sides. Serve with salsa.
