From The How Not to Age Cookbook
Ingredients
- small white or Yukon Gold potatoes
- nutritional yeast
- white miso paste
- apple cider vinegar
- lemon juice
- turmeric
- onion powder
- unsweetened soy milk
- smoked paprika
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Add the potatoes and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Do not overcook.
- Drain the potatoes, then transfer them to a bowl with enough cold water to cover.
- Set aside for 5 minutes to cool, then drain again.
- Choose nine of the potatoes that are closest in size to one another.
- On a flat work surface, cut each of the nine potatoes in half lengthwise.
- Use a melon baller or teaspoon to scoop out a ball of potato, just off center, leaving a hollow indentation in each potato half.
- Place the scooped-out portion of the potatoes into a bowl.
- Set the potato halves aside.
- Peel the remaining three cooked potatoes and place them in the bowl containing the scooped-out potato portions.
- Add the nutritional yeast, miso paste, vinegar, lemon juice, turmeric, and onion powder.
- Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the mixture until very smooth.
- Taste to adjust the seasonings, if needed.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a little soy milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
- Spoon the filling mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Fill the indentation in each potato half with the filling.
- Arrange the filled potato halves on a plate and sprinkle with a little smoked paprika.
- The potatoes are best eaten at room temperature on the day they are made.
- If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days, and bring them to room temperature before serving to allow the flavors to come through.
