14 Ways To Enhance Your Favorite Recipes With Tamari

It would be difficult to find a more universally loved side dish than mashed potatoes. They’re creamy, starchy, smooth, textured, salty, and buttery. You can make them lumpy with garlic or whipped with chives. Use olive oil and vegetable broth to make a vegan version, or load them up with chicken broth and butter. The ingredient that tends not to make an appearance typically in the potato world is tamari. It should, however, be considered.

Consider using a broth of your choosing or milk, olive oil, butter, miso, and tamari to strike the perfect balance of flavor and richness. If you forgo dairy products, then mix in some nutritional yeast. Don’t forget to include whipped roasted garlic or freshly chopped chives. Select Yukon gold potatoes for a sweeter, creamier flavor and texture, or do a mix. Leave those skins on for the additional nutrient kick. They will be so decadent that you won’t need to cover it in gravy. The tamari and miso will leave your family and friends in awe that the beloved side dish is even capable of an upgrade, but this special ingredient can remain our little secret.
