Mashed potatoes is the ultimate comfort food! I often have leftover cream from when I’m making my chocolate truffle ganache for my chocolate business, so I’ve started to look for recipes which can use some cream. Whilst normally, adding cream to mashed potatoes would be luxury, for me, it’s more about not wasting ingredients. So, if you are like me (and Marie Antoinette…) don’t have milk but you have a cream, this recipe is perfect for you!

This is fairly simple recipe, but what makes is extra special is the use of electric whisk to make the mashed potatoes extra creamy (and of course the actual cream!)
