Added Nutrition in Mashed Potatoes

My son, because of his wife's work schedule has taken over the duty of cooking dinner each evening. He gets home a couple of hours earlier than she. He gave me a wonderful tip when he was here for Mother's Day. When he cooks potatoes to mash, he puts all the seasoning, onions, garlic, etc, in the pan. Instead of pouring off all the flavor and nutrients, he thickens it with instant mashed potatoes. No waste of nutrition there.
