How to Make Creamy Potatoes Without Butter
Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the quartered potatoes to the pot and cook them for about 15 minutes, or until they’re fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! for about 45 seconds, or until it’s warm and melted. Tip: I know you might be tempted to just throw the butter directly into the pot with the cooked potatoes, but I’ve had better creamy results melting the butter first.
Pour the heated milk and butter into the pot with the potatoes.
Using a hand mixer, blend everything together until it’s creamy and smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Storing Leftovers:
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, just warm them up in the microwave with a little splash of milk or extra butter substitute to bring back the creaminess!

Yukon Gold to make the best mashed potatoes! I love how creamy and decadent these look, and the fact that they are lightened up makes them even better.

Always a big fan of mashed potatoes! When I got my tonsils out, my grandma brought me a HUGE mixing bowl full of them topped with piping hot gravy. That was a good day. Love that you lightened up a child(and adult)hood favorite with ICBINB
