About Potato roll

Potato rolls are soft, pillowy bread rolls made with mashed potatoes integrated into the dough. Originating from 19th-century American cuisine, potato rolls are a variation of bread that uses potatoes to enhance texture and moisture. They are particularly popular in the United States as a dinner roll or sandwich base. Nutritionally, a typical potato roll provides about 120–150 calories per serving, with 2–4 grams of protein, 20–25 grams of carbohydrates, and minimal fat. It also contains small amounts of vitamins like vitamin B6 and minerals such as potassium, attributed to the inclusion of potatoes. Depending on the recipe, they may also contain added sugars and sodium.

Health Benefits

• Good source of potassium due to the inclusion of mashed potatoes, which supports muscle and nerve function.
• Provides moderate levels of vitamin B6, essential for protein metabolism and red blood cell production.
• Contains dietary fiber if whole-wheat flour is used, promoting digestive health.
