Opt for low-starch potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes, which mash well and have a naturally creamy texture.

Leave the skins on the potatoes to retain fiber and nutrients, enhancing the nutritional value of your mash.

Replace traditional butter and cream with Greek yogurt for a creamy texture with added protein and fewer calories.

Enhance the taste with roasted garlic, fresh herbs such as chives or parsley, and a touch of olive oil for richness.

Mix in steamed cauliflower to reduce the calorie content while adding vitamins and fiber to your mash.

Use low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth instead of milk or cream to moisten the potatoes without adding extra calories.

Experiment with spices like smoked paprika, black pepper, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for depth of flavor.

Serve mashed potatoes in moderate portions to manage calorie intake effectively while still enjoying the dish.
