Using sweet potatoes and cauliflower instead of traditional white potatoes results in a lower glycemic index (GI) dish. This means the mashed potatoes will have a more gradual impact.
Incorporating extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil instead of butter adds healthy monounsaturated fats to the dish. These fats not only enhance the flavor and texture of the mashed potatoes.

The inclusion of fresh herbs and spices like parsley, chives, rosemary, garlic powder, and paprika not only enhances the flavor without adding calories but also provides antioxidants.
