By ideas on making thinned mashed potatoes??? I am on the full liquid portion of my post op... Protein shakes, pudding, pulverized oatmeal, etc. paperwork says I can do thinned mashed potatoes but then I started thinking.... We put butter/margarine in mashed potatoes.. We use low fat low cal stuff but honestly I am not sure how to make them without. Any ideas????

Chicken broth. Low sodium of course. Yumm!

I'd thin it with skim milk or fat-free sour cream if you can handle dairy. You could also use chicken broth.

Another option is to buy the "instant" mashed potatoes and then just use extra Water.

I use low sodium chicken broth and infuse it with basil then blend with a touch of EVOO. Yum! Make sure u take out the basil after infusing the broth

Thank you thank you!!!!! I took 1 red potato and mashed it up with broth, fat free milk and a little S&P... Soooo hit the spot and I feel a little less deprived. :-)

Try the potatoes with a little chicken gravy, very low in calories. Then later add canned chicken its so soft when you are on mushies.

I have never tried this, but alot of people on here swear by mashed steamed cauliflower with chicken broth and insist they taste just like mashed potatoes.
