Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Garlic hummus
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks, about 2 inches in diameter. This ensures even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks into a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them by about an inch. Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes on low heat to remove any excess moisture.

Step 5

Add the garlic hummus, unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk), olive oil, and ground black pepper to the cooked potatoes. Mash everything together using a potato masher or a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.

Step 6

Transfer the hummus mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh parsley.

Step 7

Serve warm as a flavorful and healthy side dish. Enjoy!
