Besides french fries, mashed potatoes is one of my favorite ways to eat potatoes. The creamy, buttery goodness is always welcome on my dinner table.

Normally, my mashed potatoes aren’t very healthy but I found a healthier mashed potato recipe from Country Crock that I tried out the other night with the family and it was a big success all the way around.
