About Mashed potatoes with gravy
Mashed potatoes with gravy is a classic comfort food rooted in Western cuisine, especially popular in American, British, and European traditions. Made by mashing boiled potatoes with butter, milk, or cream, this dish achieves a creamy texture and rich flavor. The addition of gravy, typically made from meat drippings, flour, and seasonings, adds a savory depth. Potatoes are a good source of vitamins C and B6, potassium, and fiber, especially with the skin left on. However, mashed potatoes can be high in calories and fat, depending on the amount of butter, cream, and gravy used. While it provides some energy and nutrients, moderation is key for those watching their calorie intake or managing heart health. To make it lighter, consider using low-fat milk and limiting gravy portions. This versatile dish is a staple at holiday meals and pairs well with roasted meats and vegetables.
