A scoop of mashed potatoes is a classic dish made from boiled potatoes that are mashed until smooth, typically combined with ingredients like butter, milk, or cream, and seasoned with salt and pepper. This comforting side is a staple in many cuisines, including American, British, and French, and pairs well with a variety of main courses. Mashed potatoes are a good source of potassium and vitamin C, offering energy through their natural carbohydrate content. However, the addition of butter or cream can increase the fat and calorie content, making moderation key for a balanced diet. To make them lighter, they can be prepared with lower-fat milk or olive oil. Versatile and satisfying, mashed potatoes can easily be adapted to suit different dietary needs while maintaining their creamy, hearty appeal.
