Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are very tender.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Place the pot over low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to evaporate any excess moisture from the potatoes.
Step 4
Remove the pot from the heat. Add the olive oil, vegetable broth, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Gently fold in the egg whites and chopped chives until just combined.
Step 6
Transfer the potato mixture to a large piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in small mounds, leaving space between each one.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy as a delightful and heart-healthy side dish!
