Mashed potatoes with sour cream is a creamy, indulgent dish that serves as a staple side in many cuisines, particularly American comfort food. The base consists of boiled potatoes mashed to a smooth texture, often mixed with sour cream, butter, and milk for richness and flavor. Variations may include garlic, chives, or cheese for added taste. While potatoes are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, the addition of butter and sour cream increases the fat and calorie content, making it a less healthy choice if over-consumed. However, using reduced-fat sour cream or substituting butter with olive oil can improve its nutritional profile. This dish's balanced flavor and simplicity make it a versatile accompaniment to proteins and vegetables, offering a satisfying blend of carbohydrates and creamy decadence.
