Mashed potatoes with cheese is a hearty dish combining smooth, creamy potatoes and melted cheese for a comforting side or main course. Originating from Western cuisine, this dish is a staple in American and European comfort food traditions. It typically includes boiled and mashed potatoes, butter, milk or cream, and shredded cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella, blended into a rich, velvety texture. Optionally, ingredients like garlic, chives, or sour cream can be added for extra flavor. While mashed potatoes are a good source of potassium, vitamin C, and fiber when the skins are included, the addition of cheese and butter increases the fat and calorie content, making moderation essential for maintaining balanced nutrition. For a healthier version, lighter cheese options and reduced-fat substitutes can be used. This indulgent favorite is best enjoyed as part of a well-rounded meal.
