Lightened up Mashed Potatoes

Here is my version of Mashed Potatoes that is a little lighter and more friendly on the waistline. I would love to eat the most decadent food every day, but bottom line is, it’s just not good for you. I’m not interested in flavorless food, so I’m always looking for ways to make things healthier while still tasting great. I paired this recipe up with some meatloaf I made this week, which you can see over on my other blog here later this week. If you want a more decadent Mashed Potatoes recipe check out my blog post here.
