Healthy Potato Side Dishes

This recipe from Food Network Kitchen uses Gruyère cheese, and because the cheese has a ton of nutty flavor, you don't have to use a lot of it.

These potatoes still taste buttery and rich but are much lighter than the full-fat version. They're made with a small amount of butter and reduced-fat cream cheese.

Hasselback potatoes are whole potatoes that have been cut into a fan shape, dotted with butter, then roasted. The result is a crispy-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside spud. The technique can be done with white or sweet potatoes.

Yellow-fleshed potatoes, like Yukon gold, are dense, creamy and moderately starchy, making them perfect for mashed potatoes-especially these vegan spuds, which have no dairy and are low in calories and fat.
