Skinny Mashed Potatoes

Mama's Kitchen (Hope)'s Note:

I have a meat and potatoes guy who could live on potatoes and gravy. This is how I make it healthier and lower in fat!

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 10

• 6 cups potatoes , peeled and cut
• 1 (14 ½ ounce) can chicken broth (regular or reduced fat)
• salt and pepper , to taste (the broth has enough salt for most people but taste them first and season if you wish)

Directions:

1. Boil potatoes until tender and drain well.
2. Combine potatoes and broth in a bowl and mash to desired consistency.
3. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
4. Tip: For a 'buttery' look without the butter, add a few granules of chicken bouillon- Thanks SusieQusie! You could also add some butter flavored granules like Butter Buds or Molly McButter).

Very good! Boiled the potatoes in vegetable broth, drained the potatoes, and then added broth back in when mashing. Thanks!

Wonderful recipe, especially being low in fat. Some suggestions to help benefit others: Do not add all the liquid at once. Pour in as needed and once you find the consistency to your liking, DO NOT add anymore liquid. I boiled about 5-6 potatoes as I was making just a small batch for my husband's dinner and added as much liquid as I thought necessary.They came out great. I added Vegeta seasoning to give the dish a more potent taste. Next time I will boil the potatoes in broth first to add even more flavour.

We've made these a couple of times now, and they are great! We don't peel the potatoes. This adds fiber and the nutrients that are found in the skin. I also add 2 tablespoons of light Smart Balance Spread. However, I could leave that out to further reduce the calories and the potatoes would still taste great. Also, do not add the broth all at one time. Different types of potatoes need more or less liquid. Also, salt your potatoes when they are cooking to get more flavor. Thanks for sharing!
