Use instead of milk in mashed potatoes. Makes it kosher when using beef/meat products. It tastes a bit different but it's still good.

Oil in baking. It works in bread, muffin and cake recipes. Use natural applesauce to eliminate added sugar.
Applesauce for vegetable oil: 1:1 rule, i.e. 1/2 cup of oil = 1/2 cup of applesauce. Add 2 Tbsp. oil to the recipe, if desired. Adding a small amount of oil will improve the texture.

I like using REAL MAYO in mashing potatoes instead of milk & butter - gives a real nice different taste. Use enough to get consistency you want.

I LIKE USING MIRACLE WHIP IN MASHED POTATOES INSTEAD OF MILK & BUTTER. LIKE USING REAL MAYO, DIFFERENT TASTE, VERY PLEASING, & NICE CHANGE FROM "BORING" MILK!
