years ago i was on the "Think Thin" diet and they had a recipe similiar to this and haven't been able to find it. This recipe tastes identical to it! Thanks so much for posting! It was GREAT!!!

This recipe is great. My husband and I are on the atkins so it fit perfectly. I added green onions, sour cream, and 2 oz cream cheese. I did not add whipping cream. I saw a similar recipe and used that one. It turned out great. My 1 year old daughter loved them!

This turned out well - I hadn't thought to use a mixer to mash it. A little bland, but no more so than most mashed potatoes. A keeper.
