These were fabulous. My husband hates vegetables and thought they were mashed potatoes until he tasted them. He really liked them. I didn't even use the cream cheese because I'm on Weight Watchers. Great for kids. They will really like them.

Way too creamy for me in the food processor. Next time I will only mash it roughly. I also over did the white pepper (which I am not letting affect my rating). Other than that it's a nice substitute for mashed potatoes.

This is perfect for low carbers (which we're doing right now). I've made this quite a few times and was going to post it but you already did so thank you for doing that! I didn't have any garlic but otherwise followed it exactly. Wonderful!
