ok, you busted my secret -- now try your mashed potatos as filling for an Indian samosa ...

� some fresh garllc, not smashed by diced carefully into 2mm pieces (at least 1 clove per potato -- I add 2, about half a cluster, but I like garlic)

� some fresh ginger, again finely diced into 1mm cubes, about a teaspoon

� a splash of turmeric, a companion (harmonizer) for garlic and ginger, to boost the color if for no other reason, and the other reasons are aplenty!

� if you want ... warm up the oil first, with a few red chili peppers, adding cumin seeds, cayenne, etc. as well, to remineralize the oil and raise its energy level to that of a "masala"

� a fistful of freshly chopped parsley

� � cup of green peas

� boil with raw (agricultural) sea salt, like SEA-90.

arghhh!
