Shitty Recipes: Spicy Garlic Lemon Herb Mashed Potato Pot Pie
I love cooking but also I have dyscalculia and cannot parse numerical value let alone measure. Despite this I have been told I am still a very good cook somehow. I don't know if that's true. Decide for yourself.
A lot of this recipe involves Knowing In Your Heart the amount to use. Sorry, it's the whole can't measure thing. Try your hardest. Also a lot of this is what-I-had-on-hand ingredients, not fancy shit.
Here is a rough estimation of what I have just made!
YOU WILL NEED.
FOR MASH POTATO CRUST:
Potato. Yukon Gold is what i used. I used about 4 of them
Spices: I used Tandoori, Garlic Salt, Balti, Berbere, Sweet Curry and Chili Powder.
Lemon greek yogurt (Ok trust me bro) 1 tbsp
AROUND 2-3 tbsp half n half
AROUND 2 tbsp butter
Chili Garlic Hot Sauce about 2 tsp
fresh basil, cut up into lil pieces
For the rest:
Carrots (I use 5 baby carrots)
1 1/2 cup broccoli
Alfredo sauce
More of aforementioned spices (I only used tandoori and berbere in the filling)
Shredded mexican blend cheese
Optional but I didnt use it: chicken/turkey/peas/whatever
I first began by nearly setting the house on fire. Then I cut and boiled my potatoes. I didn't peel them because I am an idiot. Anyway. I then mashed them, adding the spices at first (the amount you add is really up to your soul but I went heavy on the garlic salt because I had no fresh garlic, and heavy on the tandoori and berbere as well because I love spice. I was more reserved with the balti, chili powder and sweet curry.)
I then added my butter and my half and half and got to mashing. I used just a very small amount of lemon greek yogurt to add a slight tang, citrusy sweet flavor, and then I cut up fresh basil into very fine pieces. I mixed in a few shakes of chili garlic sauce. Then I spread this mixture over the bottom of a dish and set it aside.
I boiled my broccoli and carrots and then cut them all up, putting it into a batch of alfredo sauce seasoned with generous amounts of Tandoori and Berbere. How much alfredo sauce did I use? I don't know! Probably at least 75% of a jar. Does that mean anything to you? It doesn't to me. I don't do numbers. Amount of alfredo sauce is another thing to let your heart guide you on, buddy. Sorry.
Anyway I then poured this mixture over the potatoes and topped it with the rest of the potatoes, spooning it carefully over the top to create a sort of crust. Bake for about 17 min at 350.
That's it, tune in again later for more Shitty Recipes! I don't know what I'm doing here. This concoction tasted really good! That's all I can say.
