"This is a great substitution for Mashed Potatoes. It's lighter and just as tasty. I started making this about 6 years ago when I decided that we didn't really need another heavy carb on the table at Thanksgiving. Now I know that there are some die hard mashed potato fans out there that would never forego their decadent whipped potato pudding, however, I say give it shot. Even my brother in law who could eat mashed potatoes for every meal liked it. Happy eating!!!"
