Perfect Mashed Potato for the Gerson Diet

Potatoes are one of the staple ingredients of Dr. Max Gerson’s cancer diet. In this recipe we are going to review general guidelines to obtain a nutrient dense and tasty mashed potato dish:

1. 1. We recommend using a food mill to obtain a fluffy and creamy potato puree. Do not use a food processor or blender that will turn the potatoes into a glue-like mixture. Potatoes must be processed through the food mill while they’re still hot.
      

      Use a food mill with the finest sieve to mash potatoes.

   2. Use starchy potato varieties like Russet or Yukon gold potatoes to make mash.
   3. Cook the potatoes in their skins, do not peel. Simply wash and scrub potatoes with a vegetable brush.
   4. When you mill the potatoes add in some cold water or vegetable broth or the cooking water from the potatoes to get a creamy, fluffy consistency.
   5. Add flax oil at the end by stirring the oil into the finished mashed product. Always use flax oil on moderate temperature ingredients to avoid creating free radicals from the very delicate omega-3 essential fatty acids in flax oil.
