The refrigerator light goes on...

I have been to restaurants where they won't let you substitute. You know the type of place - the chef won't let patrons make any changes to their likes or desires. I came up with this variation of the Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes because I was having a dinner party and a guest particularly loved ginger. Be flexible. Look for places to be creative.

These keep well for about 48 hours.

2 quarts water
1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes
1 tsp unsalted butter
1/3 cup non-fat buttermilk
1/3 cup 2% milk
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp fresh ginger

Place the water in a large stock pot over high heat.

Quarter the potatoes and add to the stock pot. Cover with water by about an inch. Bring to boil and then reduce heat until the water is simmering.

Cook the potatoes about 15 - 20 minutes until slightly soft in the middle. They should give when squeezed.

Remove from heat and drain water. Add butter, buttermilk, milk, salt and grated ginger. Mash potatoes until creamy and the ginger is well blended in. I like to leave some chunks. If you like them smooth be careful because over mashing will result in pasty potatoes.

Add ground black pepper to taste.
