Potatoes are antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial, plus they have nutritional cofactors and coenzymes and bioactive compounds to help keep you healthy and assist you with stress.

Brazilian “Cheese” Bread

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups peeled and diced potato
• 2 cups tapioca starch
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp sea salt (optional)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
• 1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil or avocado oil

Directions:

Cook the potato in a steamer set over a pot of boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Remove and mash until completely smooth. Measure out 1 cup and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and sea salt (if using). Whisk until uniform.

In a small saucepan, combine the milk and coconut oil and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, pour the liquid into the dry ingredients and add the mashed potato. Start by stirring the dough with a spatula and then knead by hand until you get a firm, smooth dough that isn’t sticky. Add a bit more tapioca starch if needed.

Shape the dough into small balls (about the size of golf balls) and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread balls are golden brown on the bottom and cracks start to form on the surface. Enjoy!

Makes 16-18 rolls
