Mashed Potatoes (Light)
I love mashed potatoes, but since I'm trying to count calories it wasn't a good choice to make until I found this recipe. It only has 260 calories per serving and I personally think it tastes better than the super fattening potatoes I used to make. Once you taste this you will not believe it's a low-fat/low-cal recipe.
Mashed Potatoes (Light)
Yields: 4 servings
Nutritional Info (per serving): Cal 260/ Fat 3.5g/ Chol 15 mg/ Carb 49g/ Protein 6g/ Fiber 4g, Sodium 190mg
Ingredients
2 lbs. russet potatoes (about 4 medium) scrubbed, peeled, and cut in 1 inch cubes
Salt
3/4 cup 2 percent milk, warmed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
Ground black pepper
1. Place potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until fork tender (about 18 minutes). Drain potatoes.
2. (original step calls for food mill...I've edited) Working in batches mash potatoes using a stand mixer or hand masher.
3. Stir in the milk and melted butter with a wooden spoon until well incorporated. Gently fold in the sour scream. Season with salt and peper to taste and serve immediately.
