Let’s try mashed potato pizza toast this weekend! Hearty, warm, whole-grain toast topped with creamy mashed potato, fruit, mixed salad, and cheese. Healthy and full of flavor!
Notes :
When consumed in moderation, potatoes can be an excellent addition to your diet. They contain good amounts of fiber and nutrients, plus they are very satiating.
A study by nutritionists at The Pennsylvania State University found that, eating one medium-size potato a day can be part of a healthy diet and doesn’t increase cardiometabolic risk ~ the chances of having diabetes, heart disease or stroke ~ as long as the potato is steamed or baked, and prepared without adding too much salt or satrated fat.
Whole grains are packed with fiber, protein, and other nutrients, and can lower your odds of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Ingredients :
A loaf of whole wheat bun
500g mozzarella cheese
For mashed potato
2 potatoes
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp milk
40g butter
A pinch of salt and ground black pepper
For mixed salad
1 big onion
1 tomato
1 apple
Few slices of Luncheon meat
For dressing
1 cup fruit yogurt
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp milk
3 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice
Method :
Preheat the oven to 200C, bake toasts for 5 minutes.
For mashed potato
For mashed potatoes, we want a starchy potato. So we are using 2 Yukon Gold potatoes or you can also use Russet potatoes.
(Yukon golds with their high starch and low water content, make the most perfectly creamy, buttery mashed potatoes.)
Place the peeled and cut potatoes into a medium saucepan. Add cold water to the pan. Add 1/4 tsp of salt to the water, and bring to the boil.
Once boiling lower the heat, cover with a lid and simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and soft.
Drain the potatoes in a colander. Place the boiled potatoes in the seive, use a spatula to gently push them down, the potatoes are going to be so soft and silky smooth.
Whip the mashed potato lightly with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Add 40g butter before adding any milk ( keep the butter at room temperature ). Add 3 tbsp of milk to the potatoes little by little until they’re fully incorporated.
For mixed salad
Slice an apple, a tomato and 1 onion into thin segments.
Add some oil to the skillet. Fry Luncheon meat until look crispy and golden. Cut into small pieces.
For dressing
Mix 1 cup fruit yogurt, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp milk , 3 tbsp mustard, 1 tbsp lemon juice, blend well together.
Keep the mashed potato, mixed salad, Luncheon meat and the dressing refrigerated separately until ready to serve.
(This has to be done at the last minute, as the vegetables combined with the salt tend to shed their juices and thus become limp and soggy if kept too long)
For mashed potato pizza toast
Mix mashed potato, mixed salad and dressing together. Spread on toasted bread. Top with cheese.
Return to oven for about 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown.
Enjoy !
