About Mashed ptatoes and gravy
Mashed potatoes and gravy are a classic comfort food with origins in Western cuisine, particularly popular in American, British, and European dining traditions. The dish consists of creamy mashed potatoes made from boiled potatoes, blended with butter, milk or cream, and seasonings like salt and pepper. The accompanying gravy is typically a rich, savory sauce made from meat drippings, flour or cornstarch, and additional seasonings. Mashed potatoes provide a good source of potassium, dietary fiber, and vitamins like B6 and C. However, additions like butter and cream can increase calories and saturated fat content. Gravy, while flavorful, can be high in sodium and fats depending on its preparation. While this dish warms the soul, moderation is key when incorporating it into a balanced diet. Healthier versions may be prepared by reducing butter, using low-sodium broth, or incorporating plant-based alternatives.
