Potato hummus

Step by Step

Step 1

In saucepan over medium heat cover potatoes and garlic with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes, reserving about 1/4 cup (50 mL) cooking liquid. Mash potatoes and garlic roughly with a potato masher.

Step 2

In food processor, pulse drained soybeans, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, oregano and pepper until almost smooth with on-off switch. Add potatoes, cooking liquid and parsley and pulse until almost smooth, scraping down sides as necessary. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Spoon into serving dish. Garnish with parsley leaves and serve warm or room temperature with bread slices, pita bread wedges, bagel chips or crackers. Use also as a sandwich spread.

Step 4

Make 1 to 2 days ahead and place in microwaveable serving dish. Cover and refrigerate. Before serving, warm gently in microwave to room temperature.
