High Protein Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 10-12 large organic red potatoes
• 3-3.5 cups cooked navy beans (2 small cans)
• 1/4 cup soy-free Earth Balance buttery spread
• 2 tbsp unsweet. almond milk
• 4-5 large cloves of garlic
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp ground paprika
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions: 

Wash potatoes with a potato scrubber, chop into large chunks, and toss into a large pot. I prefer to leave the skin on (they are organic potatoes!). Fill with water until potatoes are covered. Cook on medium-high heat for about 30-35 minutes until fork tender. Drain potatoes and place in a large bowl. After cooling for a few minutes, take a potato  masher and mash until desired consistency is achieved. While mashing add your milk and Earth Balance. Mash some
more. Add garlic to a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add drained beans, salt, 1/2 tsp paprika, and process until mostly smooth. Add bean mixture to potato mixture and mash until mixed. Sprinkle with black pepper, remaining paprika, and additional sea salt. Serve with Earth Balance, salsa, ketchup, or BBQ sauce, and a serving of cooked veggies to round out the meal. Nutritional Info: (Serves 8).
