Select Yukon Gold or sweet potatoes for a lower glycemic index and higher nutrient content compared to traditional white potatoes.
Leave the skins on the potatoes for added fiber and nutrients, enhancing the nutritional profile of your mashed potatoes.
Opt for dairy-free alternatives like almond milk or coconut cream to achieve creaminess without the excess calories and saturated fats of traditional dairy products.
Add flavor without extra calories by incorporating fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or chives into your mashed potatoes.
Blend steamed cauliflower with potatoes for a lighter, lower-carb option that still delivers creamy texture and satisfying taste.
Use a hand masher instead of an electric mixer to avoid overmixing and creating a gummy texture in your mashed potatoes.
