RECIPE OF THE DAY! HERB MASHED POTATOES

THIS RECIPE IS GREAT FOR ALL, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE IN THE MASH PHASE!

"Our family loves these creamy and comforting potatoes. Garlic and other herbs make them so mouth-watering, I serve them just plain-no gravy is needed. For an extra-buttery taste, I'd suggest using Yukon Gold potatoes."
Simmering a garlic clove with the potato infuses it with flavor. Use whatever fresh herbs you have in your refrigerator. When this is your first meal after your Lap-Band you will feel like you are eating a gourmet meal. ENJOY!!!
