Mashed Red Potatoes with Cheese is a comforting dish blending smooth red potatoes with creamy, melted cheese for a rich, savory experience. This recipe typically features boiled red-skinned potatoes, butter or cream for extra creaminess, and shredded cheese such as cheddar or parmesan for flavor and texture. Originating from Western comfort food traditions, it’s a satisfying side dish often enjoyed alongside roasted meats or vegetables. Red potatoes are nutrient-dense, providing fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, while their skins add an extra boost of antioxidants when left on. Cheese contributes protein and calcium, though its saturated fat content can be high depending on the type used. Butter and cream also add indulgent flavor but increase calorie count, making moderation important. For a balanced approach, you can lighten this dish by opting for low-fat dairy alternatives or limiting added fats.
