Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Drain. Pour the potatoes into a bowl, and beat them with an electric mixer on low speed. Add the nondairy sour cream and margarine and whip until fluffy. For a more savory version, mix in the salt and pepper. For a sweet version, sprinkle potatoes with the nuts and brown sugar just before serving. |
