I absolutely love mashed potatoes and I eat them every day for breakfast. I mash them with unsweetened soy milk to the consistency I want and add a small amount of salt and pepper.
For a long time I topped them with creamed corn but the other day I got creative and came up with this delicious topping.
One can of Trader Joe's fat-free Black Bean Chili
One can of Whole Foods organic black beans, drained
One can of creamed corn - your choice
One cup of fresh steamed corn on the cob or frozen corn
A small amount of liquid - your choice - broth, water, etc.
I just mix all of them together and use some every morning as a topping on my mashed potatoes. Sooooooooo good and I get a boost from having some beans first thing in the morning.
Note: Usually canned items have so much sodium in them so I came up with the idea of diluting the sodium a little by mixing them with other items that didn't have much sodium. That seems to minimize the sodium intake considerably.
