Southeast Asian-Style Spicy Mashed Potatoes
- 5 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup low-fat plain yogurt or soy yogurt
- 1 tablespoon light olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 or 2 small hot fresh chilies, seeded and minced, or one 4-ounce can mild or hot chopped green chilies
- Salt to taste
- Cover the potatoes with water in a large saucepan.
- Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook gently until the potatoes are quite tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain and transfer to a large shallow bowl and mash well, adding the yogurt a little at a time.
- Heat the oil in a small skillet.
- Add the onion and saute until translucent.
- If using fresh chilies, add them and continue to saute until the onion is lightly and evenly browned.
- If using canned chilies, let the onion brown first, then add the chilies and saute just until heated through.
- Stir the onion mixture into the mashed potatoes, season with salt, and serve.
