Sneak More Vegetables In Your Diet by Mixing Them with Mashed Potatoes

Most diets really come down to the fact that we should all eat more vegetables. If you're looking for a way to get more veggies in your diet without giving up foods you love, this traditional Irish dish does the trick.
It turned out to be a delightful week of experimenting and we had a feast of colorful purées when it was all done, each one with its own special flavor, all of them offering the comfort of mashed potatoes we expect and look forward to on our Thanksgiving menu, with a more complex carbohydrate load and lots of additional vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients you don't get from plain mashed potatoes.
