Lactose-Free Mashed Potatoes (Maybe Vegan) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs potatoes (about 4 large)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lactose-free butter (I use earth's best)
2 tablespoons lactose-free cream cheese (I use tofutti's better than cream cheese)
2 tablespoons lactose-free sour cream (I use tofutti's again)
1/4 cup plain soymilk
3/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Preparation

Peal the potatoes and cut into small chunks.
Place potatoes in a saucepan; add water to cover and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Drain the potatoes.
In a stand mixer on in a mixing bowl w/ an electric mixer mix together the butter, cream cheese, sour cream, and soy milk. Once well blended add the salt, garlic powder and paprika or favorite mash potato seasonings.
Add in the potatoes and mix until all ingredients are blended.
Great served with gravy.
