Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs red potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 medium leeks rinsed thoroughly and thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup soy milk
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, cover red potatoes with water. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low; simmer for 15 minutes or until easily pierced with fork.
- While potatoes are cooking, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and sauté until softened and just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
- Combine potatoes and soymilk in a large bowl. Using a potato masher or potato ricer, mash until potatoes reach desired consistency (I like mine chunky!). Fold in leeks and season with salt and pepper.
