If requiring a gluten-free recipe, check the label of the indicated (*) recipe ingredients to ensure they are gluten-free.

• 3 pounds potatoes, peeled
• 1 1/2 ounces white chocolate, chopped*
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 dashes hot red pepper sauce, such as Tabasco sauce*
• 1 1/2 cups fat-free milk

Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cool water to a depth of 2 inches, and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until tender when pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes. Drain, then return potatoes to the pan and place over medium-low heat 1 to 2 minutes to dry potatoes, stirring occasionally.

Add the white chocolate to the still-hot potatoes; stir until the white chocolate starts to melt. Stir in the salt and hot red pepper sauce.

Use an electric mixer at medium-low speed to mash the potatoes slightly. Pour in the milk and continue mixing until creamy, about 1 minute. Serve at once. Makes 8 servings.
