I made these for my family for Easter dinner today. My mom is recovering from a recent heart attack and I was looking for a healthy alternative to the usual butter and cream laden mashed. These were yummy and my family really liked them. I added a little more onion powder than called for and a little white pepper. They turned out very smooth and tasty. I will definitely make again. Thanks!

A great low fat recipe! I ran out of onion powder so used garlic salt instead. I think it's such a small amount that it probably doesn't make much of a difference anyways. I tend to mash so that the ingredients are only just mixed. We like our mashed potatoes chunky! The entire family enjoyed!! Thank you!
