AVOCADO MASHED POTATOES
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.

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.
SAVORY AVOCADO WASABI MASHED POTATOES
Avocado adds terrific flavor and super creaminess to mashed potatoes. The savory bacon and tang of the wasabi add great layers of flavor. NOTE: Steaming the excess moisture from the potatoes after boiling makes them extra fluffy.

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes, cut them into quarters then cook in boiling, salted water until they are fork tender.
- While the potatoes boil, cook the bacon until crisp, drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces.
- Drain the potatoes and then return them to the cooking pan. Turn the heat to low and allow the potatoes to sit in the pan until all of the visible moisture has evaporated (about 2 minutes), then remove them from the heat.
- Melt the butter in a small saute pan. Thinly slice the shallot and add it to the melted butter. Cook the shallot for 5 minutes over moderate heat until it is softened and just beginning to turn light golden in color, then remove from the heat.
- Add the half and half to the potatoes and mash them well with a hand masher. Remove the pit and scrape the avocado from the skin and add it directly to the potatoes, then mash again until smooth. Stir in the butter and shallots and cooked, crumbled bacon. Stir in the wasabi paste and season with salt and pepper.
- Scoop the potatoes into a serving bowl and scatter the thinly sliced green onions over the top. Sprinkle the black sesame seeds over the top and serve.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The riper the avocado, the creamier and more flavorful your mashed potatoes will be.
- Use starchy potatoes: Starchy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, will hold their shape better than waxy potatoes.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy, so be careful not to overcook them.
- Mash the potatoes and avocados together until they are smooth: You can use a potato masher, a fork, or a food processor to mash the potatoes and avocados together.
- Season the mashed potatoes to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served immediately, while they are still hot and fluffy.
