Cheap Healthy College Student Meal : Mashed Potatoes But With Coconut Milk
As promised, today I am sharing my recipe how to make creamy mashed potatoes.Prior to this, I never made it myself. I thought it was going to be time consuming. Not to mention, I did not know how to eat them if not without meat. Since, I am venturing on a journey cutting back my meat consumption, I finally found that it's actually taste good served with grilled vegetables.
What makes this recipe different from conventional mashed potatoes out there is that, I change the milk to coconut milk. It's not that difficult to find it here. But, if it's difficult for you to find coconut milk, I suggest using milk is also alright.
So, if you are short on cash and having someone coming over, simply make this and buy a doritos. Well, this mashed potatoes makes a good salsa dip too.
Notes :
- I peeled the potatoes first and chopped them to small pieces
- During the boiling process make sure to add seasoning such as salt, garlic powder or white pepper, don't be stingy. Potatoes love seasoning.
- I am cooking this mashed potatoes with rice cooker and to me it looks like a gourmet meal already.
- This recipe can feed about 3-4 people.
If you try this recipe, don't forget to tell me. Also, if you want me to keep sharing college food hack, give me a feedback or ideas. I appreciate them.
If you get addicted with this recipe, don't blame me. It's delicious.
Sounds pretty good to me :>)
My advice would be to add the seasoning after cooking, just before mashing.
As part of it will wash away, when you drain the water.
This reminds me of a favorite of mine when I had little money to spend:
Potato-leek soup.
Cook peeled potatoes, in small pieces ( add some vegetable broth to it ). Add the leek ( cut in rings ) when the potatoes are cooking about 5 to 10 minutes. After cooking, let the soup cool off and blend it until it's smooth. Add loads of pepper. Serve it with some sour cream ( coconut milk would work too ) and parsley.
Eat it with bread and ( French ) cheese
Enjoy! :>)
Oh, yes I added them before mashing as well. Like I mentioned, potatoes love seasoning. hehe
Thank you for your recipe, I will have to try that next :-D
