Ranch Flavored Mashed Potatoes

This was another Turkey day find, made this for the first time. It is, by far, the best low cal mashed potato recipe I've found, and I got tons of compliments. No one had to know it was low fat. Try this, I guarantee a winner. FYI, I used fresh herbs instead of the dried ones in this recipe - a little extra chopping but worth it, just make sure to increase the quantities.
  • 4 lb red potatoes, cubed
  • 1/2c reduced fat sour cream
  • 1/4 c chopped green onions
  • 1/4 c lowfat buttermilk
  • 3 TB butter softened
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp dried basil
  • 3/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp dried dill

Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 min or until tender. Drain. Add sour cream and buttermilk, mash with a potato masher to desired consistency. Add spices, mash more to mix.

Yield 12 servings, 2/3 cup each
