Mukimo(mashed potatoes, beans and maize)

I learned this recipe from my mom since we love mashed potatoes.

We moved to the states when I was around 4 years old, my mom spoke no English whats so ever (I should mention that my mom was pregnant at the time with my brother) and my dad lived in Australia for many years so he was a native English speaker.My dad had a cousin that lived in the states, and we stayed at his home with my aunt and cousins until my dad found a job and settled in to a new country with many challenges, especially if you did not speak the language. My dad found work a few weeks later and my mom gave birth, we moved to our own apartment and life went on. During this whole time my mom still spoke no English, shopping at the supermarket was a daily challenge for her. She would try to find Greek grocery stores, (but these were deli’s not really supermarkets), because that was the only way she was able to communicate. There were many times when my mom would wait until my dad had a day off from work to go to the supermarket so that he could help her with the grocery shopping. 🙂The apartment we rented was quite big from what I remember and our bedrooms were far from the kitchen. While my brother was sleeping my mom would spend her time in the kitchen cooking, and ironing, besides the other everyday chores that were necessary, and there was a small black and white table TV set that she would have on for a few hours during the day. I remember one day I was coming into the kitchen from my bedroom and I heard my mom trying to pronoun words in English. 🙂 My

My daugther love mashed potatoes from kfc.. so i decided to add this recipe ince in awhile in my menu..😊😊

My mom's recipe, my favorite mashed potatoes 😍

Mashed potatoes are loved by most, and may not be missing at Thanksgiving dinner. So, here's a dairy free variation for all those who prefer the potatoey taste over the buttery one :)

Why use store bought mashed potatoes when you can make your own with 3 basic ingredients? It's fast, easy and delicious !Note: Milk should be added in intervals to avoid making runny mashed potatoes. Consider adding a little extra milk at the end since some of it will evaporate as the mash potatoes cool down.

It's Thanksgiving, so I figured I would share my favorite #vegan version of homemade mashed potatoes and gravy. It's simple to make and delicious comfort food. I will add photos when I make it later today :)I apologize that the quantities are very non-specific. This recipe is based on my mom's recipe, where you "just know" how much is enough. Everything is tailored to your liking--whether you like thick gravy or thin, lumpy potatoes or creamy, there is no way to go wrong here!

yummy in my tummy!

GOOD TIP.... but if adding gravy on top of mashed potatoes the sour cream will make them runny with the gravy... :-)my suggestion is to add 2T and mix... if u are going to add gravy there should b a stiff peak.... :-)

I made my mashed potatoes like this one time that’s all it took , my kids told me Iam not allowed to make them on the stove again... lol I agree with them .Once you use a pressure cooker you won’t want to make them on the stove again , it’s easier, faster, and it’s taste better.

This recipe comes from my friend Liliana, who lives in Buenos Aires.#potatoes #mashed #creamy #side #dish #meal #comfort #food #Thanksgiving #Christmas #simple #easy
