Mashed Spudwhackers - Holiday Dessert Recipes for Dieters

Although homemade mashed potatoes take a bit to make, it's just not the holidays with instant at the table. Although instant will do in a pinch, these Mashed Spudwhackers are guaranteed to put a smile on your guests' faces.

You will need the following ingredients for this diet-wise recipe:

3 pounds of peeled Idaho potatoes, washed, peeled, quartered and placed into a pot of cold water that rises 1 inch over the potatoes

3 ounces of LIGHT cream cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

1 cup of skim milk

1/4 cup of margarine

Cook potatoes until tender. Remove and drain off excess water. Add remaining ingredients and whip with a mixer until fluffy - but not to excess as potatoes will liquefy and turn to a starchy soup.
