These are so light and airy that you almost forget you're eating potatoes. I love to take this to special family get-togethers but I also use it for the potato topping on my Shepherd's Pie. These are simply the best mashed potatoes I've ever eaten! I think I could eat these every day and never get tired of them. Yum!
