There are some meals that just need a side of mashed potatoes to feel complete. Try to this recipe if you're in the mood for mashed potatoes but don't want to ruin your diet.
Healthy Mashed Potatoes
Directions:
Boil: 2 pounds red potatoes
Once potatoes are soft drain, and mash in a pot.
Once mashed add the following:
8-10 ounces plain low-fat yogurt
1/4 cup skim/soy milk (More or less depending on what you prefer. I actually made this recipe once without any milk and it turned out fine! )
Salt and Pepper
Spice it up with your choice of the following:
- Green onions
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon curry powder
- A dash of paprika
- Garlic Salt
- Dill
- Cayenne Pepper
..whatever else you'd like!
If you don't want to mash your potatoes you can slice them into wedges, drizzle them in olive oil, sprinkle with Italian seasoning (Typically a mix of: basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme pepper, salt) and stick them in an 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes.
