I love mashed potatoes in just about any way they come. They are perfect to serve anytime of year with a special holiday dinner or just a regular week night. When I make mashed potatoes, I usually use at least one stick of butter. However, I’ve been trying to find a way to make them a bit healthier.
When I was shopping at Walmart the other day, I was excited to see that STAR Olive Oils has come out with a new butter flavored olive oil. So, I decided to try my garlic and cream cheese mashed potatoes with butter flavored olive oil instead of butter. Switching to olive oil from butter is a very easy way to make something healthier and less calorie. Plus, with a butter flavored olive oil you won’t even realize a difference in taste.
