Healthy Mashed Potatoes image

This is a diet version of my recipe #201988, but you won't notice any flavor missing. Hubby, who has always insisted on adding butter to his mashed potatoes, doesn't feel the need to do so with these :)

Categories     Potato

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

water, to cover potatoes
2 teaspoons kosher salt, for boiling
2 lbs red potatoes
4 ounces fat free cream cheese
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1 egg (optional)
fresh ground pepper
3 ounces low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Wash potatoes and cut off any eyes. Do not peel them. Cut them in quarters and place in good sized pot. Fill with enough water to cover potatoes and add salt.
  • Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 - 25 minutes or until tender.
  • Drain water and smash the potatoes in the pot with a potato masher.
  • Add cream cheese and half the milk and continue to smash with masher. Add egg too if desired (it adds to both the fluffy texture and a nice color).
  • Add remaining milk as needed and most of the cheddar cheese. (You might need more milk, depending on your potatoes).
  • Add pepper to taste and garnish with remaining cheddar cheese.

These mashed potatoes were a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I'll use less butter and milk next time.

These mashed potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more garlic and herbs next time.

I've tried many mashed potato recipes, but this one is definitely my favorite. The secret is in the roasted garlic. It adds so much flavor and depth.
