I’m trying to find a way to make mashed potatoes without any butter or fat. Ideas?

You can make mashed potatoes without butter or fat by using alternatives that add creaminess without fat. Here’s a simple recipe:

Fat-Free Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 4 large Idaho russet potatoes
• 1 cup fat-free vegetable broth (or more as needed)
• Salt, to taste
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh herbs (optional: parsley, chives, or thyme for added flavor)

 Instructions:

1. Boil the Potatoes: Peel and chop the potatoes into even pieces. Place them in a pot of water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
2. Mash the Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash them.
3. Add the Broth: Slowly add the fat-free vegetable broth, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. The broth will help make the potatoes creamy without adding any fat.
4. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in fresh herbs if desired for extra flavor.

The vegetable broth provides flavor and moisture, keeping the mashed potatoes smooth and tasty. If you'd like a tangy twist, you can also add a small amount of fat-free Greek yogurt or buttermilk, as long as they are safe for you.
