My mom makes mashed taters that way. I've always heard/seen people use sweet milk, cream, sour cream but never canned milk before.

I'm latose intolerant too.
Yogurt doesn't bother us because the bacteria eat most of the milk sugar. Learned that from Alton.
I never knew why I could eat all of the yogurt I wanted and never had a problem.
Some cheeses are like that too. The more they are aged the less lactose in them. Buttermilk doesn't bother me, I'm guessing for the same reason.

A friend who shares the problem told me the less overall sugar in your system, the less likely digestion issues will occur. I don't know if that's true.
