Mashed Potatoes

Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are a popular side dish made from boiled and mashed potatoes. They are usually mixed with milk and butter or cream and seasoned with salt and pepper. While mashed potatoes are not particularly rich in nutrients, they are a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy to the body. They also contain small amounts of protein and fiber. However, the addition of milk, butter, or cream to mashed potatoes can increase their caloric content significantly. It is recommended to opt for low-fat or skim milk, as well as reduce the amount of butter or cream used in order to keep the dish healthy and lower in fat.
