Mashed Potato Bites
Here, I used up leftover mash, but these were so good, I’d actually make a batch just for this!
I can’t tell you the exact ‘recipe’ for my mash, since I just throw it together – but this mash is syn-free* on the Slimming World Extra Easy plan.
I simply peeled and chopped some regular white potatoes, and boiled until soft. I used a potato ricer to get a smooth mash (a regular masher will do just fine!), and added a splash of skimmed milk* and stirred until creamy.
Spoon your mash into the ice cube trays and freeze.
When ready to eat, pop your frozen shapes out onto a non-stick baking tray.
Spritz the top of each one with one squirt of Fry Light (I used the Olive Oil variety).
Season with freshly ground salt and pepper.
Pop into a pre-heated oven at 180° for 18 minutes (or until golden brown on top).
Slimming World Info:
If you’re following the Slimming World ‘Extra Easy’ plan these mashed potato bites are syn free on the Extra Easy plan (when using milk from your daily HexA allowance).
I think I’ll be making these often!
Syn free, no added oils or stabilisers so often found in similar supermarket products, convenient to make and freeze ahead – and they cost only pennies to make.
