Smarter Mashed Potatoes with Cabbage
This variation on standard mashed potatoes is much lower in fat and calories than standard mashed potatoes, and is also vegetarian and rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Secondary plant substances like the glucosinolates in pointed cabbage and horseradish also protect the cells and strengthen the immune system.
Sprinkle these mashed potatoes with parsley or chives before serving for extra minerals, flavor and color.
