Eeek! I was planning to serve mashed potatoes tonight, but just discovered one guest is lactose-

intolerant, so no milk or butter. I've read that chicken stock can be used to good effect, but wondered if anyone here had good ideas. Thanks!

 
I've done it with chicken stock...many years ago, and my memory is that it was really very decent.

I'd say give it a shot. Or how about a mixture of chicken stock and a little olive oil. You'll get richness and flavor from both.

The addition of roasted garlic would also lend more flavor...if that would work with whatever else you're serving.

Or, I believe there's a lactose-free sour cream available as well which may not have the 'sweetness' that some lactose-free milks seem to have.

 
I don't make mashed potatoes often, but I use soy milk when I do...

Butter generally doesn't bother me, since there's little lactose (milk sugar) in butter, so I do use it.

Sorry I can't be more help with the substitutions - since the whole family is lactose intolerant, I generally just avoid things that need a lot of milk products.

 
I've used chicken stock before. It's very good. I've also

used potato stock with the chicken broth which I really liked. You might try adding olive oil Becel in place of the butter.

 
Thanks, all. A little stock and olive oil worked perfectly. Plus a couple of sweet potatoes for

extra moisture and flavour. And honestly, I couldn't tell much difference!
