INGREDIENTS
- 2 lb. baby red or yellow potatoes
- 1½ cups + 3 tablespoons unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 6-oz. package fresh baby spinach
- 4 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard
- Dash cayenne pepper
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedges
- Hot sauce (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place potatoes in a steamer basket in a large saucepan. Add water to saucepan to just below basket. Bring to boiling. Steam, covered, 15 to 20 minutes or until just tender. Place on a tray and let cool at least 30 minutes. In a large bowl whisk together 3 tablespoons milk, the tahini, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Add potatoes to bowl and toss to coat.
- Preheat waffle maker according to manufacturer’s directions, using medium-high setting if available. Place 2 or 3 potatoes on each 4-inch grid in waffle maker. Slowly close lid and smash potatoes. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until crisp and browned. Keep cooked potatoes warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the remaining potatoes. Drizzle any remaining tahini mixture over the cooked potatoes.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook onion, bell pepper, and garlic over medium 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Gradually add spinach, cooking just until all spinach is wilted. Drain any excess liquid from the skillet. In a medium bowl whisk together the remaining 1½ cups milk, the cornstarch, dry mustard, and cayenne pepper. Add to skillet; cook until sauce is thickened and bubbly, stirring occasionally. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Spoon creamed spinach over smashed potatoes. Serve with lemon wedges and, if desired, hot sauce.
