Low Fat Whipped Potatoes (Easy Easter Dinner)

This Easter (this is also a great easy 30 minute meal for any day of the week...not just Easter, or holidays) we went for easy...our family is small and really not worth the effort of a BIG  ham . So I bought some ham slices from the refrigerator section of our local Wal-Mart (we like Farmland Best one pound ham in slices). I warmed them in a skillet with a little bit of water for about 15 minutes on medium-low. I also steamed some asparagus and made my low fat whipped potatoes. TADA! An Easter meal in just 30 minutes! Here is the recipe for the delicious whipped potatoes.
Low Fat Whipped Potatoes
3 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut into roughly 2 inch pieces
1/2 cup fat free sour cream
1/3 cup fat free milk (depending on the creaminess...you can add more)
3 tablespoons of Brummel and Brown Spread 
Salt


Put a big pot of water to boil. While the water is heating up, peel your potatoes and cut into pieces. When water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook for 15 minutes or until a fork goes into a potato piece smoothly. Drain the potatoes and place into a mixing bowl (I use my Kitchenaid). Using a hard whip attachment, whip the potatoes for a minute. Add the sour cream and milk. Continue to whip adding more milk as desired for the perfect whipped consistency. Add the spread and a little salt for taste (sometimes we add flavors like shallot salt, garlic or onion powder). Serve immediately!
