I missed Tater Tuesday last week because the kidling had a bad ear infection, then I got sick… The fun never stops! But I'm back.
I forgot to take a photo this week! Doh!
Did you know… Potatoes form a complete protein when eaten with meat, dairy or grains.
Black Bean Enchilada Mashed Potatoes
Serves 11/2 cup butter flavor instant mashed potatoes
1/4 cup dried refried black beans
2 tablespoons tomato powder
1 tablespoon powdered enchilada seasoning mix
1 teaspoon onion flakes
1 cheddar or pepper Jack cheese stickAt home: combine everything except the cheese in a zip locking freezer bag.
In camp: add about 1 1/4 cups water to the mix. Stir well. Serve topped with the cheese.
Mar 29, 2011 at 12:26 pm #1716677I posted two recipes today for TT. Mine are soups but one is full of bacon :-D

Mar 29, 2011 at 3:39 pm #1716762I wondered what happened to last Tuesday. I thought maybe I was in a time warp. I also even considered trying to come up with something myself, but I was in Whoville at the foot of Lichtenberg Mtn(I'm married to the Grinch) and didn't have access to much until I came back to town.
I had everything for today's black bean enchilada taters except the enchilada sauce mix, so I went online and combined a few recipes that seemed to work: 1/2 C cornstarch, 1/4 C chili powder, 2 ts garlic salt, 1/2 ts cumin, 1 ts oregano, 1 TB paprika, 1 ts salt. I also rehydrated the beans and onion flakes separately, because the potatoes always hog all the water. This is really good!

Keeping it simple — just dehydrated 7 pounds of yams into yam chips.
I used the recipe on backpackingchef. I should be set for a while.Mar 29, 2011 at 3:49 pm #1716770I love that you test our recipes each week. Your feedback is priceless!
Mar 29, 2011 at 6:29 pm #1716844Kathleen,
I have been blogging my set of recipes but I didn't have time last week to get it posted here :-( I need to go cut n' paste this weeks as well. Ah well.
Mar 29, 2011 at 8:14 pm #1716924Sarah – your recipes are next on my test list. I can only eat so many spuds in a day. I may have already tried them in the past, but I need to make them again to be sure. And yes, I don't like to comment on recipes until I've actually made them. I'm a good little eater!
Mar 29, 2011 at 8:16 pm #1716927Sounds good, I'll try it on a trip this weekend.
Thanks!Mar 29, 2011 at 8:46 pm #1716940Not sure I've ever seen tomato powder.
Mar 29, 2011 at 8:47 pm #1716942Me either. I'll likely just use the seasoning only.
Mar 29, 2011 at 9:28 pm #1716971Harmony House Foods and PackitGourmet both carry it :-) Good stuff to have on hand!!
Mar 30, 2011 at 8:30 am #1717149One thing we do is make our own tomato powder. Dry homemade or jarred tomato sauce until it is very dry (almost brittle) then run it through a coffee grinder or blender. I use a coffee grinder just for things like this. A Magic Bullet works well for this too. You can do the same with V8 juice to add a nice veggie flavor.
Mar 30, 2011 at 8:56 am #1717166The stuff I use is from the bulk bins in the herb and spices section from my local health food store (mostly b/c I can buy it locally). I also like Harmony House Foods tomato powder. And like Laurie said, you can also make your own.
Mar 30, 2011 at 10:24 am #1717216Harmmony House is good, I also enjoy AlpineAire's tomato powder…
