The holiday season is here, and 东精影业<\/abbr> News<\/em> is asking members of the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> ʻohana to share their favorite recipes<\/a>. The hope is these recipes and the short stories that accompany them will give everyone some ideas for eats throughout the holidays.<\/p>\n

“Growing up in Idaho, we always had potato dishes and we didn\u2019t want the standard potato dishes all the time so we experimented a lot, and this one is one of my favorites because I love garlic,” Swift said. “There\u2019s a little bit of milk, a little butter, and I like to keep the potatoes chunky—that\u2019s why we\u2019re using a red potato.”<\/p>\n

He said, “It\u2019s just a little twist on the traditional mashed potatoes. It\u2019s always on the table for the holidays!”<\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s recipe appears in Windward CC<\/abbr>\u2019s 50th Anniversary Cookbook\u2014a compilation of recipes and memories gathered from faculty and staff members. The cover artwork by alumna Shar Tui\u2018asoa—known as Punky Aloha—expresses the theme of the 50th anniversary gala fundraiser, E Miha, ʻĀio! (Pull with the crest of the wave to our future). All proceeds from the sold-out cookbook supported the college\u2019s $1-million goal to fund scholarships for students at Windward CC<\/abbr>.
