Whipped Potatoes With Black Beans Recipes

WHIPPED POTATOES WITH BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place potatoes in a large pot, add stock or salted water, cover and bring to a boil. Cook until very soft, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place garlic on a piece of foil, moisten with oil and loosely wrap it. Place it in oven for 15 minutes.
• When potatoes are soft, drain and return them to the pot to mash by hand or place them in an electric mixer. Add salt to taste, the roasted garlic, the butter, cream and black beans. Beat ingredients together.
• Adjust seasonings, and gently reheat the potatoes before serving. Garnish each portion with cilantro and, if desired, a scattering of corn.

MASHED POTATO-BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Put a large pot of water to boil, add potatoes and cook until they are soft and easily penetrable by a fork.
• Meanwhile make sauce: in a large saucepan, saute diced onion with a T of oil for 5 min or until soft and translucent. Add extra 2 T of oil and slowly stir in flour. Slowly stir in 1/2 cup salsa and tomato sauce, about 1/4c at a time. Add paprika, cili powder, 1T garlic powder and 1T cumin. Slowly stir in broth and simmer on low until sauce has thickened.
• When the potatoes are done, mash until smooth. Stir in beans, remaining salsa, cumin, garlic and 6oz of cheese.
• When the sauce is done, mix a 1/4-1/2 cup in with the potatos then pour a thin layer on the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Warm up the tortillas in a microwave or the oven (to make them flexible) and ladle about 1/3c of potato mixture in each, spreading it evenly down the middle, and rolling the tortilla tightly around it.
• Line up the enchiladas in the pan and pour the remaining sauce evenly over top. Sprinkle with remaining 2 oz of cheese and bake uncovered for 25min at 350. Enjoy!

LOADED SWEET POTATOES WITH BLACK BEANS AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Halve sweet potatoes lengthwise, then brush all over with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with salt.
• Place cut side down on prepared sheet and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, or until completely cooked through. Take sweet potatoes out of the oven, turn them over and let cool slightly. Use a fork to rough up the flesh and slightly flatten the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide half the cheese among the potato halves. Spoon the black beans over them, then cover with the remaining cheese. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the beans have warmed through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

• Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute.
• Add beans and mash coarsely with a potato masher, mashing in onion and and garlic at the same time.
• Thin beans with enough water to give them a soft consistency that barely holds it shape in a spoon.
• Season with salt.
• Cover and keep warm until serving.
