CL Comments: Potatoes and milk are both tasty sources of potassium. The combination of the two allows for about 694 milligrams of
potassium per serving.
Amy's Comments: This was a neat twist on mashed potatoes! I liked the idea of making a butter. I couldnt find cumin seeds ANYWHERE.
So i just used a heaping teaspoonful of ground cumin! I served with the Chipotle Meat Loaf so the
tang in these helped cut the spice. Tasty and different. I would make again with the right main dish to counteract.
INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 tablespoons butter, softened
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl. Mash with a fork until
blended. Cover and refrigerate.
- Place potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until tender; drain. Return
potatoes to pan. Add buttermilk, salt, and pepper; beat with a mixer
at medium speed until smooth. Serve with butter mixture.
