Sounds great – I usually add cauliflower to ours and we love it. Many times we just mash up cauliflower and add cheese, milk and butter – delicious

This may negate any health benefits, but this recipe sounds like a good candidate for using the leftovers to make fried mashed potatoes!

I always make extra mashed potatoes to fry up like fritters or crab cakes – just add an egg, crushed cornflakes or crackers – whatever as a binder and fry ‘em up!

Sounds good and considering that veggies almost always get mixed in with the potatoes why not do it right off the bat!

I also love cooking parsnips, turnips, carrots, and potatoes all together, then mashing with lovely sweet butter

We’ve been looking for ways to eat healthy without giving up good ol’ Southern food I feel guilty for how often we eat mashed potatoes. This will make me feel a lot better-I can’t wait to try it!

@Lynn, Lynn – these are excellent!! Such a comfort food I just made these today for lunch, with WW Calzones and cucumbers. Yummy!! I will definitely make them the next time we have steak, as you suggested. Both of my boys loved them. Thanks again for sharing great recipes!

@Wendy, Yes, you can use regular frozen corn. It would work fine. I like the white corn for this because it is smaller, but I use whatever I have for this.

Wow, those sound very good. I’m thinking cauliflour might be a nice vegetable to use since my kids won’t be able to see it. Hmm… I made mashed potatoes last night, so I’ll have to wait a week or so to try this. Thanks for the idea!

My mother used to use a very similar concept with us as kids. She noticed how we would always mix the veggies into the potatos so she made up her own crazy everything in it recipes for mashed potatos. Our absolute favorite thing to do with the leftovers was potato pancakes with veggies and cheese right in them!
