Potato puree, commonly known as mashed potatoes, is a creamy dish made from boiled potatoes blended with milk, butter, and seasonings like salt and pepper. Originating from European cuisine, it has become a staple side dish worldwide due to its comforting texture and versatile flavor. While variations may include cream or garlic for added richness, its basic preparation remains simple and satisfying. Potato puree is a good source of carbohydrates, offering a quick energy boost, and contains essential nutrients like potassium and vitamin C found in potatoes. However, its healthiness depends on preparation—adding excessive butter or cream can increase fat and calorie content. Opting for less butter and low-fat milk can make it a lighter choice. This dish pairs well with protein-based meals, offering a wholesome complement to your plate.
