Garlic Mashed Potato Bites

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs (900 grams) yellow potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 2 bulbs garlic
• 1⁄4 cup (2 ounces) Medical Medium Healing Broth or water (purified or spring)
• 3⁄4 cup cassava flour
• 2 tbsps chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tsps onion powder
• 2 tsps garlic powder
• 2 tsps fresh thyme leaves
• 1⁄2 tsp sea salt (optional)

Directions:

• Scrub the 2 bulbs of garlic well, removing any soil from their base. Steam the potatoes and whole bulbs of garlic for 30 minutes (you can separate them in your steamer if the bulbs still have some hard-to-reach dirt). Immediately mash the potatoes until very smooth (do not allow them to cool after steaming and before mashing).
• Slice the garlic bulbs in half so that each clove is halved; squeeze the inside of the garlic out of both halves of each bulb, being careful not to get any of the garlic skins in with it; then discard the skins. Mash the garlic into the potato until thoroughly combined.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the warm mashed potatoes and garlic, Healing Broth or water, cassava flour, fresh parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and sea salt (if using) in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
• Using a spoon or small scoop, portion the mixture into 12 mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Gently shape into balls.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set and lightly golden on the bottom.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Recipe Notes:

• Cassava flours vary greatly by brand. The type of cassava flour you use can affect the recipe outcome. If you don’t get the outcome you desire, consider trying other brands of cassava flour.
• When you’re choosing between Medical Medium Healing Broth and water, keep in mind that the broth will produce a deeper savory flavor that enhances the garlic in this recipe. Store-bought vegetable stock isn’t called for because it’s very difficult to find a variety that’s free of oil, salt, natural flavors, and/or other additives. For convenience, make a batch of Healing Broth in advance and freeze it so you have it on hand. The time needed to make the broth is not included in the recipe cook time.
• Steaming the garlic mellows its sharpness. You can also adjust the amount of garlic to your personal liking.
• If you’re not serving these bites soon after making them, store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Refrigerate them promptly after preparing. To serve, reheat covered in the oven or gently steam until warmed through.
• The mashed potato bites taste great on their own, or serve them with any of these recipes from Healthy Healing Cookbook: Mushroom Gravy, Ketchup, AW’s Guacamole, Herbed Avocado Dip, or any another sauce or dip in the recipes.
• Steaming times can vary based on your equipment (stovetop basket, electric steamer, etc.), the amount of potatoes, and how they’re cut. The potatoes should be very soft and break apart easily when pressed with a fork—this ensures smooth mashing with no lumps.
• Sea salt is an optional inclusion; the recipe is more healing without it. For salt guidance, see the information in Healthy Healing Cookbook.
