Potatoes with Butter, Cooked

Potatoes with Butter, Cooked

EverydayCooked

Potatoes with butter, cooked, is a classic dish combining boiled, baked, or roasted potatoes with added butter for richness. The preparation creates a creamy or fluffy texture depending on the potato variety, with butter enhancing both flavor and caloric density. This dish provides carbohydrates as a primary energy source from the potatoes, while the butter contributes saturated fats—making portion awareness key for those monitoring fat intake. Leaving the skin on boosts fiber content, though many traditional recipes remove it for smoother consistency.
