About this Recipe Makeover

This made-over recipe lowers the calories and fat by replacing regular sour cream with fat-free, whole milk with low-fat, and butter with light buttery spread. The result - delicious mashed potatoes lighter on the waistline but not on flavor!

(Note: Although traditionally, 1 cup is a common serving, for purposes of comparison, 1/2 cup serving was used.)
