How many calories do mashed potatoes have?

Answer by  salsafoodie (3146)

Depending on the size of the potato you should be around 175 calories or less if you add additional items then your calorie will be higher.

The calories in mashed potatoes depends on how they are prepared. A plain potato of about 100 grams has about 100 calories. Adding water to make the mash smoother does not affect the calorie count. Adding milk and butter quickly ads calories. Instead, consider adding garlic, salt, even a little vinegar to add flavor without adding calories.
