Low Fat Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Low Fat Mashed Potatoes

My elderly aunt taught me a lesson on making low fat mashed potatoes. After draining them, and using just a tiny dab of lowfat margarine, I start whipping them and adding, just a little at a time, fat free non dairy creamer. It gives it a rich taste, thickens them, with no added fat!

Mashed Potatoes Without Fat

I discovered a great way for making mashed potatoes, and I don't use any fat in it.

While making the potatoes for mashing, I put a can of vegetable broth into a pan, and just simmered it while the potatoes were cooking. When the broth was concentrated about 1/2, I used that for mashing with my potatoes, more milk or water if I needed. The concentrated broth was so intense, the mashed potatoes were so flavorful, no one needed any butter at all in or on it.

I taught my son to make that, and he got so into making that, he made the broth with adding onion, garlic, and mushrooms, and his mashed potatoes tasted so wonderful! He likes to be creative with food. :)

I mostly use vegetable broth, because I am vegetarian, but, my son will make meat broth concentrate with other broths.

Source: I was just looking for an idea to lower the fat and calories, and broth was fine, but, the broth concentrate was even better.
