Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla “Ice Cream” Mashed Potatoes
Who doesn’t like ice cream? Well, with this dish, kids might not mind eating all of their veggies if they think that they resemble their favorite dessert!
What you need:
Sweet potatoes
3 medium sweet potatoes
2 Tbsp. creamer
2 Tbsp. maple syrup
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 Tsp. vanilla
Red or white potatoes
6 Red potatoes or 3 medium white potatoes
3 Tbsp. milk
2 Tbsp. sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
Sea salt to taste
Chocolate flavored potatoes
White potatoes (use a scoop of the above white mashed potatoes)
1 Tbsp. milk
1 Tsp. Hot chocolate mix
For each variation, peel and cube potatoes. Boil in water, until tender, about 20 minutes. Add ingredients as listed for each flavor and mix. Remember when mashing potatoes, that you need a thick enough consistency to “scoop”.
For the White Potatoes
Additional milk or sour cream can be added as needed. Also, before serving add a dab of light butter.
Scoops can be formed with an ice cream scoop for a serving dish or for individual servings use a melon scoop.
Serving Suggestion
Add some fun to the meal and serve mashed potato scoops to kids in a flat-bottom ice cream cone.
