Mashed Bananas taste like Mashed Potatoes



 

I love Irish potatoes and now I have a replacement! Irish potatoes are very difficult for a home gardener to grow here in SW Florida. Summer and Fall it rains too much. Winter and spring, the fire ants attack them. 

I had given up. 

Boiled, green bananas taste like mashed potatoes!

Recipe: Trim bad spots and both ends off of green bananas. Boil in water until a fork passes through with ease. Drain*. Remove peel. Mash. Add butter, salt and pepper to taste. 

*My beloved asparagus pot with a lift out basket was used to cook these. As part of downsizing our cooking pots, this is now my smaller version of a pasta pot and easier for me to lift and drain.
