I'm off the hook this year because my cousin in law is doing the heavy lifting. I just need to bake some bread and make mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes with no dairy or soy. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

WTF do I do? How bad is rice milk? I've never touched the stuff. I guess I could use margarine but I'm not sure I could bring myself to do that. I'm planning on cooking the potatoes off in stock to add a little flavor, but I'm pretty much at a loss here.

I think you can use stock + a little olive oil and seasonings and get them pretty fluffy. I think the NYT -may- have mentioned this in their mashed potato article currently onl their food page.

I'm not 100% sure the olive oil thing is in there, but I definitely read somewhere today about maked mashed potatoes without dairy.
