Notes

It's nice to have a few basic core recipes that can hit the spot on any given day. We have three quickies that you may find helpful.
Comfort Food #1: Mashed Potatoes
Utensils: Saladmaster Machine, 3 Qt./2.8L Sauce Pan, 2.5 Qt./1.49L Culinary Basket
Ingredients
  • 3 medium baker potatoes
  • 1 medium onion, processed, use Cone #3
  • 4 tablespoons fresh rosemary (7g)
  • cheese, optional
Directions
  1. Place approximately 1 ½ inches of water in sauce pan and turn heat to low. Cut off stems of rosemary and add to water. Finely chop rosemary leaves and set aside.
  2. Process onion directly into Culinary Basket. Sprinkle with half of the rosemary.
  3. Process potatoes directly into basket over potatoes. Sprinkle with remaining rosemary.
  4. Insert basket in pan and cover. Turn heat to medium. When Vapo-Valve­™ clicks steadily, reduce heat to low and cook approximately 10 - 15 minutes, or until potatoes are soft enough to mash.
  5. Transfer potatoes and onions to a large serving bowl and stir to blend. Grate cheese over warm potatoes, if desired, and allow to melt.
Tip: Water in sauce pan should not dry out completely. When basket is inserted in sauce pan, there should be about ¾ inch of water remaining in sauce pan.

Having a go-to soup recipe to which you can add or subtract ingredients, according to season, can make you a hero for putting a tasty option on the table. Your preparation time will be quick and easy, and the nutritional rewards will be nothing less than amazing. Meat is optional and can be left out for a vegetarian option.
