We love all the flavors of a loaded baked potato, but not the fat. So I turned that into a low fat smashed (or mashed, if you like) potato side dish. Portions are filling, and are approximately 5.5 grams of fat per person, including the bacon pieces.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

8 yellow new potatoes (about 3/4 pound)
1 teaspoon Smart Balance light butter spread or any other light tub margarine
3 tablespoons nonfat milk
1/2 cup nonfat sour cream (I think Knudsen's has the closest flavor to the full fat, it is also very thick) or reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons bacon bits or veggie bacon bits
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Microwave potatoes until fork tender (you could also steam or boil the potatoes as well).
2
With a masher, smash potatoes a little (I leave the skins on, but feel free to remove them, if you like). Add light butter, and smash a little more. Be careful not to overmix, or potatoes will become glue-y.
3
Add milk and stir or mash into potatoes. Stir in sour cream, bacon bits and chives. Add salt and pepper, if desired.
4
Rewarm for about 45 seconds in the microwave, and serve.

This was great! Next time I plan to use a little less milk or sour cream. Came out a tad bit runny for my liking. Great flavor and easy to prepare. The yellow potatoes really do make the dish yellow. Made as posted and this makes a lot at least 3 servings. Thanks for posting.

These are some good taters! We omitted the bacon, and used real butter, but otherwise made as directed. You can't really tell they are low-fat and healthy when compared with regular mashed potatoes. (Buddha couldn't... teehee).

4 stars ! I chose this recipe to make in PRMR Zaar cooking Game becuase we DON'T have non fat milk or sour cream here in Nl and I wanted to see if it could be still be achieved with things that I DO have. With this in mind I took a stick blender to some cottage cheese until it was a smooth paste and then added a tiny amount of water to thin it just a tad more. I didn't use the margarine or chives but did use real bacon, patting it well with papertowels to get as much grease off it as possible. Once combined, you really couldn't taste that it was a lower fat potato dish and even better, I loved it ! Please see my rating system: 4 excellent stars for an easy to make, tasty and healthier potato dish that I will be making regularly. Thanks!
