Hi Ladies
reading the post below about broken masher, just wondered what everyone has with their mashed potato? And what they add to it(if anything) when making it, as when i make mine it always tastes a bit lumpy and a bit tasteless without butter
Thanks in advance for any tips

On the rare occasions I do 'real' mash I find it's lovely with a few sprays of buttery frylight,and a good dollop of fromage frais. If you've got a few syns to use, I think you can't beat low fat creme fraiche through it too. Yum!

I also add, depending on mood, schwartz 3 mustard mix, any mixed herbs, and sometimes even an egg.
 
I've just had mashed carrot, swede and sweet potato with 3 laughing cow lights in it - yum! If I'm doing a red day I leave out the sweet potato. Turnip makes vegetable mash creamier and that's superfree.
I find that the laughing cow works well with making normal mash smoother too.
 
I have used a ricer for making mash and you really dont have to add much to it - i find its ok with just a bit of salt and pepper
 
I have a new masher now!! Yey!
I use a splash of milk and a few tsp of low fat spread. Sometimes i add cheese or garlic salt.
I have it with gammon and beans, fishfingers, mince and gravy, mmmmmm i'm hungry now lol :D
 
mmmm sounds yummy
 
I mix a dollop of Eat Honestly (thats the make beleive it or not) smooth cottage cheese with garlic and herb in my mash, makes it creamy and add a bit of flavour and its free on all plans, get mine from Tescos and they do a natural one too its good for people who don't like lumpy food. xxx
 
I make mine with milk from my HE and a tablespoon of low fat marg...It's worth a syn:D

I usually have it with quorn sausages or burgers and peas
