it lacks flavor

I made the recipe because of the reviews. We did not like it, because it was bland. Sorry about the review.

Skinny Mashed Potatoes

I've used this method forever. I just use one potato per person and then barely cover them with broth. That should be just enough to mash 'as is' without draining the potatoes. You can add one or two cloves of garlic. I also keep them 'skinny' by adding non-fat sour cream or non-fat half and half or 1% buttermilk. I also warm any of the above before adding it to the potatoes for a minute or two in the microwave.

This is the only way that I make mashed potatoes now. The flavor is awesome and it cuts back on the calories and fat. Thank you!

It was absolutely wonderful! My in-laws ate it and couldn't believe that it didn't have the usual butter and milk.
