About Pireu de cartofi

Pireu De Cartofi, or mashed potatoes, is a classic comfort food originating from Romanian and wider European cuisine. This dish is traditionally made by boiling potatoes until tender, then mashing them with milk, butter, and sometimes sour cream, creating a creamy and velvety texture. It is often seasoned with salt, pepper, and occasionally garlic or herbs for added flavor. While Pireu De Cartofi is a good source of carbohydrates, potassium, and vitamin C, its nutritional profile can vary based on preparation. The addition of butter and full-fat dairy increases its calorie and fat content, which may be something to monitor for those watching their intake. Healthier versions can be made by using less butter, substituting milk with plant-based options, or incorporating olive oil. Paired with lean proteins or vegetables, it can be part of a balanced meal while still delivering its signature comforting taste.
