About Mashed potatoes with butter

Mashed potatoes with butter is a comforting and versatile dish enjoyed across various cuisines, though it's most commonly associated with Western cooking and traditional American, British, and European meals. Made by mashing boiled potatoes with butter, it sometimes includes milk, cream, or seasonings like salt and pepper for added flavor and creaminess. Potatoes are a good source of vitamins C and B6, potassium, and dietary fiber, which contribute to energy and digestion. However, the addition of butter significantly increases the fat and calorie content, making portion control important for balanced nutrition. This dish is loved for its rich, velvety texture and works as a hearty side for everything from roasted meats to vegetable-based entrées. For a lighter option, recipes can substitute or reduce butter and use lower-fat dairy alternatives.
