This Irish mashed potato recipe gets a healthy makeover with hemp milk and just a light touch of butter.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs red scrubbed and quartered (skins on), or your favorite thin-skinned potatoes
- 5 scallions roughly chopped
- 1 to 1 1/2 c hemp soy or rice milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 scallion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Irish butter
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
- While the potatoes are boiling, heat 1 c milk to a simmer. Add the roughly chopped scallions and simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside until the potatoes are done.
- Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Strain the scallion milk into the bowl with the potatoes and add the salt. Mash. If needed, add the extra 1/2 c milk for consistency.

To serve:
- Serve hot. Divide the mashed potatoes between six dishes. Make a hollow in the center of each serving and top with a pat of butter.
