About Fast foods, potato, mashed
Mashed potato is a soft, comforting side made from boiled potatoes whipped with milk, butter or margarine. It's one of the lighter sides on a fast-food tray — most of its bulk is potato and water — and it carries the potassium and modest fiber that potatoes are known for.
Per 100 grams it provides about 89 calories, with around 14.7 grams of carbohydrate, just 1.7 grams of protein and 2.8 grams of fat from the added dairy. Potassium is a highlight at roughly 286 milligrams per 100 grams, there's about 1.3 grams of fiber, and sodium sits near 306 milligrams (mostly from added salt and any gravy).
On its own, mashed potato is a low-fat, moderate-calorie side — far lighter than fries. What changes that is what goes on top: gravy, extra butter and salt are where the calories and sodium climb, so keeping the toppings modest keeps it a sensible choice.
