Opt for Yukon Gold or red potatoes for a creamy texture and rich flavor. These varieties require less butter and cream, making them a healthier choice.

Steam the potatoes instead of boiling them to retain more nutrients and prevent them from becoming waterlogged.

Replace heavy cream or butter with Greek yogurt. This adds a creamy texture and tangy flavor while boosting the protein content.

Incorporate fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill. These herbs add a burst of flavor and additional nutrients without extra calories.

Enhance the flavor with roasted garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Garlic adds a robust taste, while olive oil provides healthy fats.
