I call it poor woman's mashed potatoes because it features mashed potatoes out of a box. It's cheap, quick and surprisingly good.
Ingredients
Garlic mashed potatoes box from Whole Foods
Olive oil
Dill
Fried onions from Trader Joe's
Salt & pepper to taste
Follow the directions on the box except rather than use milk or butter use olive oil. Place an equivalent amount to what it says on the box. Stir in a dash of dill and about 1/4 cup of fried onions. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can even top it off with them. MMM fried onions.
