Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Yukon Gold, Russet, and Red potatoes all have different textures and flavors, so using a combination of them will create the best mashed potatoes.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will be gummy and bland. Cook them until they are just tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes well: Excess water will make the mashed potatoes watery and thin. Be sure to drain the potatoes thoroughly before mashing them.
  • Use low-fat milk or broth: Using whole milk or cream will add unnecessary calories and fat to the mashed potatoes. Instead, use low-fat milk or broth to keep the dish light and healthy.
  • Flavor the mashed potatoes with herbs and spices: Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or rosemary, to the mashed potatoes for extra flavor. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

These skinny mashed potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a holiday meal or a weeknight dinner.
