FAQs
1. Are these mashed potatoes made exclusively with Maine lobster?
Answer: No. The dish is typically prepared using a blend of Maine lobster and langostino lobster meat. Langostino is a smaller shellfish with a flavor similar to lobster or shrimp, but it is not considered true lobster.
2. How does the calorie count compare to regular mashed potatoes?
Answer: The Creamy Lobster Mashed Potatoes contain approximately 330–350 calories, which is significantly higher than the plain Mashed Potatoes (about 210 calories). The additional calories primarily come from the rich, buttery lobster sauce and the added lobster meat.
3. Are Creamy Lobster Mashed Potatoes gluten-free?
Answer: While the main ingredients—potatoes and lobster—are naturally gluten-free, the creamy sauce may contain wheat or gluten-based thickeners. Additionally, Red Lobster notes a risk of cross-contamination, as their kitchens handle gluten-containing products extensively.
4. Why is the sodium content so high?
Answer: The high sodium level (often over 1,000 mg) is largely due to the seasoning of the mashed potatoes and the concentrated sauces, such as the beurre blanc, which are used to create the dish’s rich, savory flavor.
5. Can I substitute regular mashed potatoes with Creamy Lobster Mashed Potatoes in an entrée?
Answer: Yes. Creamy Lobster Mashed Potatoes are typically available as a premium side upgrade for an additional charge when ordering an entrée that includes a side. The upcharge is usually listed directly on the menu.
