Are you doing the cooking? If you are, why not mashed cauliflower?
Anyway, if you're going to have mashed potatoes, I've always found that
a TBS or two of cream stirred into some meat juice works well. If that
won't do, get yourself some ThickenThin not/Starch thickener. It works
really well. One more word, sometimes the idea of mashed potatoes and
things is better than the actual thing, and the substitutes like
cauliflower, squash, etc., satisfy the cravings just as well. Good luck.

For real soon too!
I think I am going to splurge for a 1/2 cup or so of mashed potatoes
next Thursday and would like to have gravy too. I suppose that, with
the large jolt of carbs from the previously total abstinence from
potatoes, what could a few more from gravy hurt.....supposedly 45
carbs or so worth, but......

I would appreciate any ideas or experience.

Thanks for the time.
Joe
