High Protein Mash!

We all love buttery mashed potato, but can it really fill you up as the main course?

According to blogger Angela, all you need to do is add some baked beans to your mash, mix in some veggies and you have a filling, nutritious main meal. And the best part? The beans are so well hidden that the kids will be getting loads of protein and goodness without even knowing it!


Ingredients:


10-12 large organic red potatoes
3 cups cooked baked beans
1/4 cup butter
2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
4-5 large cloves of garlic
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp ground paprika
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Method:

1. Wash potatoes with a potato scrubber, chop into large chunks, and toss into a large pot (with skins on). Fill with water until potatoes are covered. Cook on medium-high heat for about 30-35 minutes until fork tender.
2. Drain potatoes and place in a large bowl. After cooling for a few minutes, take a potato masher and mash until desired consistency is achieved. While mashing add your milk and butter. Mash some more.
3. Add garlic to a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add drained beans, salt, 1/2 tsp paprika, and process until mostly smooth.
4. Add bean mixture to potato mixture and mash until mixed. Sprinkle with black pepper, remaining paprika, and additional sea salt.
5. Serve with butter, salsa, ketchup, or BBQ sauce, and a serving of cooked veggies to round out the meal.
