Mashed Potatoes

[NOBREAD4ME]

yesterday i was starving because since my doctor told me i have celiac, i don't know what to eat for meals. actually for three weeks the doc wants me to eat an allergen free diet no dairy, corn, gluten, ect...

So......I was craving mashed potatoes and I found a dressing by Drew's that's dairy, gluten, and corn free. I boiled the potatoes and mashed them as usual, then I mixed a bit of the dressing in and it was like an italian flavor mashed potato, really good actually.

Anywho...does anyone have any good entree recipes for no dairy, no gluten, no corn, no soy??

just wondering

thanks and have a blessed day.

This is just my basic mashed potato recipe--I do use Smart Balance--I am sensitive to soy and dairy, but can use Smart Balance without problems. Peel and cut potatoes into chunks, boil in salted water until very soft. Drain cooking water into glass measuring cup. Mash potatoes with hand mixer, adding cooking water and Smart Balance to get to the consistancy you want. Add pepper and salt, if needed. Not fancy, but good

Rice milk for mashed potatoes is good. I also add flavored oils instead of butter. My whole foods had all sorts of cool oils, like avocado oils... some with hints of lemon or basil.. makes interesting mashed potatoes. I also add finely minced garlic, garlic salt or gluten free Pacific brand chicken or vegetable broth.

What do you like to eat? We eat tacos on rice tortillas, spaghetti, pizza (w/out cheese or w/goat cheese), mashed potatoes and gravy, roast chicken and baked potatoes, meatloaf, all kinds of soups and stews, meatballs and noodles, barbecued chicken, and dozens of other gluten-free items. Dinners are the easiest gluten-free meal I think. There is a good thread titled "As promised, a few good recipes" or something like that in this section. Tiffany must be a good cook because her recipes look great. And CarrieFaith has a good thread on recipes going too.

Use a creamer potato like a red or yukon gold - NOT a starchy potato like a russet - then steam until cooked through, mash, add a bit of olive oil (if you want), and chicken broth (I use Imagine, in the box), until you get the consistency you want. You can also add a bit of garlic and rosemary. :-) And some salt.

I use the Simply Potatoes garlic mashed potatoes. They are in the refridgerated section, usually near the eggs. They are made from real potatoes, but they are already mashed and ready to put in the microwave. They are much better than any mashed potatoes I have ever made. All simply potatoes items are gluten-free, except the southwestern hashbrowns (which I used to love).

Sorry I didn't see this question earlier. I make my own gravy. It's easy. I use chicken broth and thicken it with rice flour (white or brown) or corn starch. Mix the flour in with some water, make sure it's mixed well, then stir it into the broth just before it boils. I cook by look and feel, so it's hard to give an exact recipe, but I'm sure any cookbook will have a recipe for basic gravy.
