What about Beano ? have you ever used it? some people say its great and I'm wondering if you could add it in.

Just a suggestion

If you want you can add bacon to this recipe mmmm mmmm !!!

Oh and just to let everyone know, this does not get creamy like real potatoes, its kinda gritty but GOOD !!

You can also make a mock potato salad using cauliflower instead of potatoes (use the frozen it works better). My sister who hates cauliflower loves the mock potato salad. It really saves on the carbs.
