Tag: Microwave mash

According to a Harvard Health report, cooking food for less time, as in a microwave, can preserve more nutrients like Vitamin C and B vitamins than traditional boiling. This fact challenges the common misconception that microwave mash is inherently less healthy than its stovetop counterpart, proving that preparation is key.

One serving of a homemade microwave mash can have as little as 278 calories, but this can change dramatically depending on the ingredients. The total number of calories in microwave mash is highly variable and hinges on what you add to the basic potato, such as butter, milk, or cream.
