Tahini-Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Serves 6
Time 35 min
These potatoes are rich and creamy without the addition of dairy ingredients. The flavor is classic enough to serve alongside any holiday roast, or increase the tahini by a tablespoon or two and pair them with Middle Eastern dishes in place of rice or couscous. Watch our how-to video.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1½-inch chunks
