Mashed Potatoes

My boyfriend's recipe, created to much acclaim for Christmas dinner:

Ingredients
 - Russet potato
 - 2 Yukon potatoes
 - 1 Red potato
 - 1 Regular sweet potato
 - 1 Garnett sweet potato
 - 1 Onion (we used red)
 - 1 bulb of garlic
 - 2 large spoonfuls of margarine


Directions
 - Chop the sweet potatoes into small (quickly-cooked) pieces, add to pot of water
 - Bring the water to a boil
 - While you are bringing the water to a boil, chop the rest of the potatoes and add them to the pot.
 - Peel and coarsely chop the onion
 - Start to caramelize the onion in a fry pan with olive oil
 - While the onion is starting to caramelize, peel and dice the garlic
 - As soon as you've finished dicing the garlic, add it to the pan with the onions
 - Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and move them to a bowl
 - Mash the potatoes
 - Stir in the onions, garlic, and margarine

Lentils with Rice

Ingredients
 - 1 packet green lentils
 - 1 package black lentils
 - 1 package red lentils
 - 1 yellow onion
 - 3 cloves garlic
 - 1 can kidney beans (15 oz)
 - 1 can pinto beans
 - 1 can red beans
 - 1 can diced fire roasted tomatos (28 oz)


Spices:
A LOT
 - black pepper
 - garlic powder
 - white pepper
 - thyme
 - paprika
 - nutmeg
 - oregano
 - basil

Directions
 - Soak the lentils for an hour, discard the water (optional step, I have trouble digesting legumes and this is supposed to make it easier)
 - Add 16 cups of water
 - Chop the onion, add it to the pot
 - Dice the garlic, add it to the pot
 - Rinse the beans thoroughly, add them to the pot
 - Add the spices
 - Cook on medium heat (so it doesn't boil over) until your fiancee tells you it's done. ("I'll know when I see it")
 - Don't cook the rice in the same pot because you didn't use a large enough pot the first time around.

A Little
 - Mustard
 - Cumin
 - Curry
