Ellie Krieger Gives Comfort Food a Low-Cal Makeover

The Food You Crave (Taunton Press)

Ellie's Version: Parmesan Mashed Potatoes

With 209 calories and a third of the fat of the original, Ellie’s potatoes are a winner for your waistline -- and their flavor is sure to win over everyone at the table.

Ellie Explains: "Just a dab of butter on top tells you something rich and decadent is on your plate, but there is no butter in these potatoes at all. Rich and tangy buttermilk make the dish creamy and a sprinkle of real parmesan gives a big flavor punch."
