Mashed Plantains instead of Mashed Potato

Mashed Plantains are a tasty twist on a mash potato recipe, and it’s my go-to recipe for green, unripe plantains. If you’re in a potato rut, give unripe plantains a try …
My significant other is Puerto Rican and introduced me to Mofungo, which is just fried green Plantains mashed with olive oil and garlic cloves…then you can get it with beef, chicken or shrimp or whatever else you can think to add! I recently created my own version by adding brown gravy, onion powder and Montreal Steak seasoning…then eat it on top of an Angus burger or by itself! Today I am heading back to the store for more Plantains to make a loaded baked "Potato" version and also a chicken version. What's also awesome about Plantains is that if you don't get around to making Mofungo before they ripen, you can fry the ripened (peeled) Plantains and top with full fat Greek Yogurt (or sour cream) and a dollop of a low sugar fruit spread. They are SO filling it doesn't take much to feel satiated especially when you add other healthy fats such as the sour cream or avocado. I am in LOVE, LOVE, LOVE with Plantains!!! Bonus: They are also easy on the wallet!!! 😀
This reminds me so much of Mofongo ❤ cool alternatives, us Puerto Ricans don't add the milk, the execution is also different but the ideas are very similar, such as making it as flavorful as possible. Cool way of introducing plantains and making it a more common food staple, thumbs up 👍
You guys are cute and funny 💜
Maybe add unsweetened almond milk and vegan butter for a vegan recipe. I was making some tonight …

in utila/my family we call it fufu
Haven't been to your channel in a while. I love your kitchen upgrade and as usual you didn't disappoint with this recipe. Kudos
Im Dominican so this is basically mangu but we keep it simple. Boil the plantains with salt, mash it up with butter. Sauté some red onions with vinager and olive oil and salt. Put them on top on the mashed plantains and boom, done. Your recipe looks good but as a Dominican i can’t bring myself to putting all these seasons and things in my mangu. But I love seeing other cultures trying something outside of the norm of potatoes 😊
Love it
my dr said to not eat white potatoes, so i bought some plantains. wanted a mashed recipe. ty ty ty
You should have kept the skins to sautee later, imo
l love your wife,she's so funny, love your vids, will defo try this

Dude you really made a winner here. I hate mashed potatoes but I tried this. Man it's great. Thanks/
Where I live you can’t even get plantains, but I still really enjoyed this!
Milk in MANGU?!!! BLASPHEMY! 🤦🏽♀️
Definitely I will try. Thanks
Looks REALLY tasty for sure! 😀
Love you guys -both you lazy guys
Chef Buck, what's your beef with taters? Seems like you're always trying to replace them with something less tasty and harder to get. 🙂
Great to learn more about plantains–also great to see CG! Thanks, CB!
Great alternative. Delicious recipe!
First Mate wants to try this!
Hope u really love him.
wonderful idea!!! much less trouble than tostones. i can’t wait to try this.
Looks nice, never seen a plantain round here. I also note that this weeks show presenter was almost as good as last weeks. Keep trying and one day you'll be as good as she is!
WILL DEFINITELY TRY THIS. HOW ABOUT YUCCA? I LIVE IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND I HAVE BEEN GROWING YUCCA AS A BACK UP FOOD SUPPLY. THEY ARE ALL OVER OUR ACRE. GOT A RECIPE FOR THOSE?
You rock the recipes and love your sense of humor! Hope you guys have a great weekend. Thanks for sharing! 👍😊
Buck, you have a great imagination. I like your recipes!
This is amazing! Thanks Chef Buck for sharing!
Quite a cool recipe. Never tried to use bake bananas that way.
It reminded me of an Indian recipe, you could add some curry and turmeric too, and if you could find some curry leaves to saute in with the onions it would put it over the top!
In Puerto Rico this is very close to a dish we call mofongo 🙂
This is a comedy show with a bit of cooking 😁❤️
Another easy lazy yummy dish from the most charismatic chef in YT. Thanks!
Samthing new I like its a good recipe thanks all the best
