This was pretty good. Since it's lower in fat than many mashed potato recipes, it needs a bit more seasoning to compensate. I added red bell pepper, but I think some herbs (thyme, sage?) would also help. I froze part of the recipe for future use, so will report on that later. The color was significantly darker than I'd expected - from the mushrooms, I think.

Big hit with the family including a fussy toddler and a DH who protests against stodgy food. Easy to make and it is great comfort food.
