Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Healthy Fact of the Day

While indulgent, potatoes provide important nutrients including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. To make healthier, use milk instead of cream and reduce butter amount. Consider leaving skins on for extra fiber and nutrients. Roasted garlic adds flavor and beneficial compounds without many calories. For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese and replace some butter with olive oil. While calorie-dense, these can be part of a balanced meal when portion sizes are moderate. The protein in milk helps make them more satisfying.
