Mashed potatoes, or "mash," is a classic comfort food made by boiling and mashing potatoes, often combined with ingredients like butter, milk, or cream for a smooth, creamy texture. A staple in Western cuisine, mashed potatoes are popular in American, British, and Irish cooking, frequently served as a side dish alongside roasts, gravies, or vegetables. Rich in carbohydrates, mashed potatoes provide energy and contain vitamins such as vitamin C and B6, as well as potassium. When prepared with minimal added fats or dairy, mashed potatoes can be a healthy, nutrient-dense option. However, traditional recipes that include heavy amounts of butter, cream, or salt may increase calorie and sodium content, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Creative variations often include garlic, herbs, or plant-based alternatives to suit diverse tastes and dietary preferences.
