Ranch Mashed Potatoes
Buffalo Tempeh with Ranch Mashed Potatoes
I know I post about Buffalo “stuff” a lot but this is more about the mashed potatoes. First about the Buffalo. I made it with tempeh for the first time ever. So that’s new. I usually just stick with seitan and occasionally will use tofu but never tried it with tempeh. I have to say that I’m really glad I tried it! It was so good. Tempeh was one of the first things I ever tried when I became a vegetarian way back when I was 18 years old and it’s something I have always loved but it’s also something that I almost now never cook with. I have no reason for that. It just is what it is. I purchased a few packs of it at Whole Foods yesterday to make some new things with it over the next few weeks. One of my favorite uses is to make Tempeh Sausage Crumbles with it then from that making Biscuits and Gravy. I see in my immediate future a delicious weekend breakfast!
Now the potatoes. I accidentally use sweetened rice milk when mashing these and as you can imagine that was kinda gross and weird tasting. The ranch dip I made for the Buffalo Tempeh came to the rescue. I couldn’t stomach the potatoes on there own but when I mixed in the ranch dip it made them delicious in a this can be kinda gross way. I would NEVER serve mashed potatoes like that to another human being but I would make them again that way, minus the sweetened rice milk, for myself when I’m feeling like eating something deliciously gross.
