I love the flavor of everything bagels and I thought, these flavors would go great with almost anything. I was needing a recipe for a healthy cooking class and came up with this fun take on smashed potatoes —Jimmy Hoxie
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 pounds
red potatoes, washed
-
3
cloves garlic
-
2 tablespoons
olive oil
-
1
yellow onion, washed, peeled and sliced thinly
-
8 ounces
low fat cream cheese, softened
-
1 tablespoon
poppy seeds
-
1 tablespoon
toasted sesame seeds
-
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
-
1 pinch
salt
-
3/4 cup
hot stock (either vegetable, chicken, or beef)
Directions
-
Place the potatoes and garlic in a large stock pot and fill the pot with water to cover the vegetables. Place the potatoes and garlic in a large stock pot and fill the pot with water to cover the vegetables. Place the pot on the stove burner and bring the water to a boil. Boil the potatoes until they are tender, about 15 minutes.
-
In a medium sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat and add the onions. Allow the onions to cook slowly, stirring every so often, until they are golden and soft
-
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the softened cream cheese and onions and mash with the back of a spoon or potato masher. Add the poppy seeds, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper and mash more to incorporate. Add the stock, a little at a time until the desired texture is reached. Serve hot, or save the leftovers and make potato cakes out of them.
