Cooking Light must be kidding. Nothing light here. Two tablespoons butter + cheese? We make our mashed potatoes with fat free milk, and fat free sour creme, chives, and salt. By ignoring these horrible recipes calling for dairy fats and avoiding dairy fat and all fried foods alone, I have gone back to size 8 from size 14 in just four months. It is not portion control, it is the fatty foods like this that is making America obese.
