I have not tried it but I imagine it would be just fine. The mashed potatoes will most likely be less smooth and creamy, but it will be healthier (less fat)!

Saving it for Christmas dinner! Our Thanksgiving is over in Canada.
I know they will be amazing, as all your recipes I make.

Yes! It can be stored in the fridge or even frozen!

This is amazing! I’ve made mashed potatoes before with many different ingredients … but these are the smoothiest, creamiest and tastiest! And easy, too.

A couple of recommendations:
1. Use baby gold potatoes (not necessary to peel them) – it’s easier to mash them, especially if you use a hand masher;
2. Make sure the cream is at or close to room temperature. If you measure it out and let it sit while the potatoes are boiling, it will be safe (and mix a LOT better). Same thing with the butter (although I recommend measuring that out maybe 5 minutes before the end of boiling)

Thank you for sharing this – can’t wait to try it at the next work potluck!
