Mashed Potatoes
Creamy, mashed potatoes are the perfect side dish to a number of entrees. These spuds are a great way to get fiber and other nutrients from complex carbohydrates, yet when they're loaded with heavy cream it can quickly diminish their value. This winter, try out one of Pritikin's most popular recipes.
