Description

Reduced-fat potato cream is a creamy and smooth ingredient made from mashed potatoes with reduced fat content, preserving its silky texture and natural flavor. It is ideal for preparing soups, sauces, and light side dishes in recipes that seek a comforting touch but with a lower calorie content.

The origin of potato cream comes from European culinary tradition, especially from countries where the potato is a staple food, such as France and Germany. Over time, its use has become globalized and adopted in various Latin American cuisines, where the potato is also a fundamental ingredient.

Among its properties, it stands out as a source of easily digestible carbohydrates and, being reduced in fat, it is a healthier option for those who monitor their calorie intake or wish to maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, it provides B vitamins and minerals such as potassium, which are inherent to the potato.

In different Hispanic American countries, potato cream may also be known as light mashed potatoes, low-fat mashed potatoes, or simply light potato cream. These terms facilitate its identification in recipes and supermarkets in the region.
