Healthy Hearty Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes can be as healthy or unhealthy as the ingredients you add to the potatoes. By swapping out full-fat milk or cream for low sodium broth, we’ve created low fat mashed potatoes that are still loaded with flavor. There’s still some butter in there to add creaminess, but we use far less than traditional mashed potatoes so you’ll get the creaminess without the fat or calories. Using red potatoes and keeping the skin on adds fiber and nutrients so you can feel good about eating these hearty mashed potatoes as a healthy side dish. If you’re looking for gluten free mashed potatoes, just be sure to check the label on the broth. All other ingredients naturally contain no gluten. 

Serve this classic side dish alongside your favorite protein for a complete meal everyone will love. These heart healthy dishes pair well with mashed potatoes.
