Hummus Mashed Potatoes

3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup tahini (sesame-seed paste)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
2 pounds cubed peeled red potato
Lemon wedges (optional)

Combine broth, tahini, juice, 1 teaspoon oil, and next 4 ingredients (1 teaspoon oil through chickpeas) in a food processor, and process until smooth, scraping sides.

Place potato in a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes or until tender.

Drain and return potato to pan. Stir in broth mixture, and mash to desired consistency. Cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring constantly. Drizzle potato mixture with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and garnish with lemon wedges, if desired.
