This was on the Newsletter that came with our monthly statement from our gym and claims to be "healthy and packed with flavor." I don't care for mashed potatoes, but if I did I think I'd like this recipe. It calls for buttermilk*, so we need to do a substitution. (Heather - vinegar + soy milk?)
6 lg. peeled Idaho potatoes (approx. 6 cups) 10 garlic cloves 1 bay leaf 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup to 1 cup buttermilk * Salt and pepper to taste
In lg. pot, combine the potatoes, garlic cloves, bay leaf and salt with just enough water to cover. Cover the pot, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain. Discard the bay leaf. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes and garlic with enough buttermilk* to achieve a smooth consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Yup - you can use vinegar & soy milk for the buttermilk.

Couldn't you also use a thinned down soy yogurt?
Not that I use soy anything, but it's just a thought for those that do.

Sounds good but how much vinegar with the soy milk? Michelle

Another variation is to use chicken broth instead of the soy milk. It gives it a really nice flavor, it's low in fat, and still appeals to family members who can't stand soy!

1T cider vinegar to 1 Cup soy milk, just enough to "sour" it.
