"The thought of green mashed potatoes might initially make you cringe, but these potatoes are nothing to cringe about. They are pleasing to the palette, beautiful in color and compliment anything from meatloaf to prime rib."

Green Mashed Potatoes
serves 10

12 large potatoes
1 tsp. salt
16 ounce package frozen peas
8 ounces heavy cream
4 Tbsp. butter
salt and pepper to taste

Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in medium pot and cover them with cold water. Add the salt and cook them until they are tender. Drain them well and place them in a large mixing bowl.

While the potatoes are cooking, bring 1 quart of water to a boil in another pot. Add the frozen peas and cook them until they are thawed and just heated and still bright green in color. Drain them and place them in a blender. Heat the butter and the cream until the butter is melted and the cream is hot. Add the hot butter and cream to the peas in the blender and puree the mixture until it is smooth.

In the large mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the potatoes. Slowly add as much of the puree mixture to the whipped potatoes, until you attain a desired piping consistency.
