Milk or cream: which makes the creamiest mashed potatoes?

[bbcarmela]

I'm trying to perfect my mashed potatoes and I can't decide whether to use milk or cream for that ultra-creamy texture. Has anyone experimented with both? What do you prefer and why? Really curious to get your input on this!

I’ve tried both, and cream definitely gives mashed potatoes that extra rich and creamy texture. If you’re going for something indulgent, cream is the way to go. Milk still works great if you want something a bit lighter. Either way, you can’t go wrong!

Cream has always been my best bet to make the ultimate creamy mashed potatoes. It has a higher fat content than milk, and that makes mashed potatoes extra creamy and smooth. Aside from that, the cream adds a buttery, rich flavor and contributes to a thicker consistency.

Cream generally makes the creamiest mashed potatoes.

Hi. Part of what makes these the creamiest mashed potatoes is the CREAM. Use the cream.
