Mashed Potatoes With Kalamata Olives

Ah, this cool weather (85 degrees in Phoenix, AZ) gets me in the mood.  The mood for COMFORT FOOD!  Here's a recipe for the traditional favorite with a fruity, Greek spin from the pages of La Dolce Vegan (Kramer).

3 large potatoes, cubed
1/3 cup soy milk
3 Tbsp vegan margarine (Earth Balance is my fave)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/3 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
2 Tbsp flax oil

In a large pot of salted water, boil the potatoes until they can be poked easily with a fork.  Drain and return to pot.  Add the soy milk, margarine, salt, and pepper and mash until the desired consistency is reached.  Stir in the olives and serve garnished with flax oil.  Makes 2 large or 4 small servings.

Enjoy!
