Mashed potatoes can safely be called a tasty and versatile side dish.

But you can’t use the adjective “dietary” when talking about this dish.

However, even if you are on a diet, do not deny yourself the pleasure of enjoying your favorite dish.

All you need to do is replace the main ingredient with other vegetables.

As a result, you will get a no less tasty, but much lower-calorie dinner.

For example, you can make sweet potato puree.

It is almost impossible to distinguish its taste from that of potatoes. Despite the fact that these vegetables are very similar in taste, the amount of calories in sweet potatoes is much lower.

In addition, these fruits contain more potassium and other healthy elements.

The side dish, for which kohlrabi and celery root were used, will not harm the figure either. The dish, in addition to being dietary, is also very tender and aromatic.

Finally, you can use fresh green peas to make the puree.

To make it more delicious, try adding onion, heavy cream and milk. And where would we be without spices – almost any will do, to your taste.

The pleasant green-hued puree can be served with white meat. It will also go well with steamed fish.
