No Milk No Butter Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on June 3, 2019 in Side Dish

Hey there,

How is everyone today?   I woke up this morning, made my cup of coffee, had breakfast and headed for my desk.  I started reading everyones posts. (need to catch up) when I realised that I forgot to press PUBLISH for my own post. The reason why I forgot to press Publish is because I was doing a bit of research on Yoga classes. 🙂  Wooo hooo, I did Yoga for about 7 years before having to stop due to the accident. But nowww I am going back and trying to find one in my area.  🙂

Since Easter is coming up in a couple of weeks, and Fasting is a main part of Easter, I thought you might enjoy a different type of Mashed Potatoes.  I know that you are probably wondering Olive Oil and Lemon blaahhh, but believe me it does taste good!!  If you are not Fasting, and want a lighter version of Mashed Potatoes, give this recipe a try. 

I had to look up the recipe again, because I couldn’t remember if I needed to add Vegetable or Olive Oil.  Yes, I do forget sometimes!  So, I have to go back to look up ingredients and recipes. 🙂  

I was testing out my camera on manual to see if I can get the Aperture, ISO and all of that stuff done correctly, but looking at my prep photos I still need to work on it!!  So much to learn ahhhhhhh 🙂

Have a great weekend everyone!! 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    I’m glad I’m not the only one to have forgotten to publish her own posts from time to time! 😉
    That’s fab news about getting back into yoga. I hope you find a class in your area. Do you think you’ll do it at home too?

    Great recipe. I must admit I’d never thought mashed tatos could really be done without any milk or butter. Olive oil is an interesting one & a great alternative. The finished product looks lush, not dry or too wet. I wonder if sunflower oil would also work..?

      Thanks so much!! Nope you are not alone, there are more of us heheheheh. I have found a class and I do prefer leaving the house. I work part time at home, plus the blog and workshopsI basically I hardly leave the house. So, I want to get out, go to a class, meet people laugh and have fun. I don’t want to do Yoga at home. 🙂 I have unemployed, and at home for 4 yrs, and I was depressed, so this opportunity (working) gives me a small income and I can finally do something and that is get out and go to a class. 🙂
