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

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  2. Add the potatoes and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  3. Do not overcook.
  4. Drain the potatoes, then transfer them to a bowl with enough cold water to cover.
  5. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool, then drain again.
  6. Choose nine of the potatoes that are closest in size to one another.
  7. On a flat work surface, cut each of the nine potatoes in half lengthwise.
  8. Use a melon baller or teaspoon to scoop out a ball of potato, just off center, leaving a hollow indentation in each potato half.
  9. Place the scooped-out portion of the potatoes into a bowl.
  10. Set the potato halves aside.
  11. Peel the remaining three cooked potatoes and place them in the bowl containing the scooped-out potato portions.
  12. Add the nutritional yeast, miso paste, vinegar, lemon juice, turmeric, and onion powder.
  13. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the mixture until very smooth.
  14. Taste to adjust the seasonings, if needed.
  15. If the mixture seems too dry, add a little soy milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
  16. Spoon the filling mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
  17. Fill the indentation in each potato half with the filling.
  18. Arrange the filled potato halves on a plate and sprinkle with a little smoked paprika.
  19. The potatoes are best eaten at room temperature on the day they are made.
  20. 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.
