Mashed potatoes and gravy is a comforting side dish with roots in European and American cuisines, often enjoyed during holidays or family meals. It consists of creamy mashed potatoes, typically made from boiled potatoes, butter, milk or cream, and seasoning, paired with rich, savory gravy, usually crafted from meat drippings, stock, and thickened with flour or cornstarch. Nutritionally, this dish provides a good source of carbohydrates from the potatoes, offering energy and fiber, depending on preparation. Potatoes also contain vitamins like vitamin C and potassium. However, the addition of butter, cream, and gravy can make it calorie-dense, with higher saturated fat and sodium content. Healthier variations might include lighter gravy options, reduced butter, or incorporating sweet potatoes for added nutrients. While indulgent and satisfying, moderation is key for balancing its nutritional impact.
