About Mashed potatoes
Mashed potatoes are a classic dish made from cooked potatoes that are peeled, mashed, and blended with ingredients like butter, milk, or cream for a smooth, creamy texture. Originating from European cuisine, they’ve become a global favorite, often served as a comforting side dish. Potatoes are naturally rich in potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber, offering significant nutritional benefits. However, the added fats like butter and cream can increase calorie and saturated fat content, making moderation key. Opting for low-fat dairy alternatives or skipping added fats can enhance their health profile. Mashed potatoes can also be modified with herbs, garlic, or olive oil for extra flavor without compromising nutrition. Versatile and satisfying, they pair well with dishes ranging from roasted meats to plant-based mains, making them a staple in various cuisines worldwide.
