Ranch Mashed Potatoes

We made these for Roommate Thanksgiving this year and they were a huge hit. Again, not an original recipe, but it is from Cooking Light!

A note about the ingredients: I add more of almost EVERYTHING. More salt, more basil, more oregano, more garlic powder, more pepper, more dill. And definitely more sour cream. So much for the healthy factor. Play around with the different combinations of spices until you figure out what you like best.

Ingredients
13 cups cubed red potato (about 4 pounds)

1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk

3 tablespoons butter, softened

3/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon dried basil

3/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon dried dill

Preparation:

Cover potatoes in water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until tender; drain. Place potato in a large bowl. Add sour cream and remaining ingredients; mash with a potato masher to desired consistency.

Yield
12 servings (serving size: 2/3 cup)

Enjoy!
