Parmesan Mashed Potatoes

Potatoes get a bad rap but these only use a tablespoon of butter on top and have a lower fat and calorie content then other mashed potato recipes. These are a real hit when I make them.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (about 5 cups), diced unpeeled
• 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan
• Salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.

While potatoes are cooking place buttermilk and milk into a small saucepan and cook over a very low heat until just warm. Be careful not to boil or milk will curdle.

Drain the potatoes, add the warmed milk and mash together (I use my Kitchen Aid mixer) to desired consistency. Stir in cheese and salt. Top with the butter and let it melt.
