Avocado Mashed Potatoes image

On a whim one night I threw some avocado into my mashies to stir things up a bit and was surprised at how much I liked them. My general rule of thumb is a quarter of an avocado per large russet potato, but feel free to use other spuds. It's a good, healthy way to make the potatoes creamy without bad fat. You can leave out the butter if you like. Make sure that if your avocado is a Reed that you only use half of it since they are usually quite large.

Categories     Potato

Time 20m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large russet potatoes (scrubbed or peeled)
1 avocado
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the potatoes into quarters.
  • Drop them in a quart of salted, boiling water and let cook for 10-15 minutes or until easily pierced by a fork.
  • Cut the avocado into four parts lengthwise and discard the rind and pit.
  • When the potatoes are done, drain them and immediately add the butter, avocado, salt and pepper to ensure the potatoes are still hot for best mixing.
  • Mash the ingredients together so that the avocado is mixed evenly throughout - I prefer a hand-held mixer with a blender or whisk attachment.

I love this recipe! The avocado mashed potatoes are always a hit with my family and friends. They're so creamy and flavorful, and they're a great way to use up leftover avocados.

Not bad, but not great. The avocado flavor was a bit too strong for my taste.

These avocado mashed potatoes were amazing! I served them at a potluck and they were a huge hit. Everyone loved the creamy texture and the unique flavor.

I was skeptical about this recipe, but I'm so glad I tried it! The avocado made the potatoes so creamy and smooth, and the lime juice added a nice brightness. I'll definitely be making this again.

This is my new go-to recipe for mashed potatoes! They're so creamy and flavorful, and the avocado adds a really nice touch. I've also tried adding roasted garlic, which takes them to the next level.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The avocado adds a unique flavor and creaminess that makes it stand out from traditional mashed potatoes.

This dish was a bit of a disappointment. The avocado overpowered the flavor of the potatoes and the texture was too mushy for my taste.

So easy to make and so delicious! I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they were perfectly fluffy. The avocado added a nice creamy texture and the lime juice gave it a bright, fresh flavor.

Avocado mashed potatoes were a hit! The avocados gave it a creamy, rich flavor that was perfectly complemented by the garlic and herbs. Even my picky kids loved it!
