There has been a big push toward healthy eating in the last
couple of decades. This trend may be bringing longevity and
healthy lives but something has been lost, the traditional meat
and potatoes meal.
Here is a newer version of a time honored tradition that is
tasty and satisfying. The lemon addition to the mashed potatoes
is a surprisingly delicious twist.
