Easy Mashed Potatoes 8 medium potatoes 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder 3 tbsp butter-flavored sprinkles 1/4 tsp ground white pepper Peel the potatoes, and cut them into chunks. Place the potatoes in a 4 quart pot, and add water just to cover. Bring the potatoes to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. Drain all but about 2/3 cup of the water from the pot, reserving the drained water. Add the dry milk powder, butter-flavored sprinkles, and pepper to the potatoes, and mash them with a potato masher until smooth. If the potatoes are too stiff, add a little of the reserved cooking liquid. Serve immediately. VARIATION: For a different taste, make Easy Mashed Potatoes with nonfat sour cream or plain nonfat yogurt instead of nonfat dry milk. Just omit the dry milk, and drain all of the liquid from the potatoes. Add 3/4 cup of nonfat sour cream or yogurt, and mash as directed. If the potatoes seem too stiff, return a little of the reserved cooking liquid to the pot. 12 servings Nutritional Analysis Per Serving: POINTS: 2 SERVING SIZE: 1/2 cup PER SERVING: 96 Calories, 0.1 g Fat, 1.5 g Fiber, 0 mg Cholesterol, 2.8 g Protein, 86 mg Sodium
