Very good! Served with corned beef, Irish soda bread, and roasted carrots for St. Patrick's Day. Light and fluffy without being full of butter and fat. Only change I made was to put potato mixture through a large-holed ricer. Love those Cooking Light recipes, thanks for sharing!

Oh yum, Sharon these are wonderful! I am usually a very traditional butter/milk/salt mashed potato kind of girl, but tonight I resisted temptation to change the recipe up and tried the cream cheese and sour cream. Yum! Very fluffy and very rich, though I used fat free versions of both ingredients. For me the real kicker was using garlic and broth to boil the veggies; it really added that special something. Made for St. Patty's to go under Irish Stew, and I will revisit the recipe I'm sure. It makes quite a lot and is quite filling! I scaled the recipe back to serve four and still had a good amount left over. FWIW my 3 year old didn't notice the cabbage at all--woohoo! Thanks for posting. Made for PRMR.

Had this yesterday with my corned beef. Absolutely delicious. Had plenty of leftovers, so will enjoy for lunch today, also. Another winning recipe, Sharon. Made for PRMR recipe tag game.

WOW! What a deliciously creamy and flavoursome recipe and so wonderfully low-fat which will make this a regular side-dish for us. :) It was the perfect accompaniment for diner524's Recipe #352397 and would be great with any meat dishes. I loved the fact that it had so much garlic and that it's a dish that has two vegetables in it. I used Savoy cabbage and low-fat cheese, cream and milk. Thanks for sharing yet another super recipe, Sharon. Made for PRMR.
