Ingredients
-
4
large russet potatoes
-
1/2 cup
unflavored almond milk
-
2
carrots
-
1
medium beet, or two smaller beets (about 6 oz total)
-
3 cups
packed kale
-
2
cloves roasted garlic
-
salt and pepper to taste
-
5-6
sprigs thyme
Directions
-
Wrap each potato in a wet paper towel. Put them all in the microwave and nuke on high for 10 minutes. You can tell they're done when a fork pierces effortlessly through the flesh. Some older microwaves will take more than 10 minutes, some newer models will take less than ten minutes.
-
Throw the potatoes in the freezer for about 5 minutes to cool them down quickly, so you can handle them without burning yourself.
-
Preheat oven to 400.
-
Cut each potato in half and scoop out the soft middles, and lay the potato skins out on a large baking dish. Optional-- oil the baking dish with melted coconut oil
-
Blend the middles with the milk and garlic till smooth, add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the thyme
-
Mentally divide the potato puree into 4 parts.
-
Scoop one of the parts into a piping bag and randomly pipe into the skins.
-
Take the second part and throw it in a blender with the carrots.
Repeat step 7 with the carrot-potato mix
-
Take the third part of the puree and throw it in a blender with the beets. Repeat step 7 with the beet-potato mix
-
Take the last part of the potato puree and toss it in a blender with the kale. Repeat step 7 with the kale-potato mix.
-
Sprinkle a little more thyme over top, and brush tops of potatoes with melted coconut oil if desired.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes, until puffed and crispy.
Serve with love.
