This recipe is perfect if you want to:
* Serve a more refined dish at family dinners or events
* Improve the presentation of your meals without spending a lot
* Surprise everyone with a deeper, more professional flavor
* Elegantly pair your potatoes with meats, chicken, salmon, or roasted vegetables
Plus, it’s a great option whether you’re cooking in the U.S. or Latin America, since heavy cream is easy to find in Hispanic grocery stores, Latin markets, or even discount stores.
Where to find heavy cream in the U.S. and Latin America:
In the U.S., look for heavy cream or whipping cream at stores like Walmart, Kroger, Publix, or Amazon Fresh.
In countries like Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, or Peru, it’s labeled as **”crema de leche para batir”** and available at stores like Soriana, Éxito, Coto, Wong, and others.
You don’t need a fancy brand — just make sure it has at least 30% fat. That’s all it takes to work culinary magic!
Extra tips to take your mash to the next level
* Add cream cheese or grated Parmesan for a gourmet twist
* Use clarified butter (ghee) for a healthier, lactose-free version
* For a keto-friendly option, mix in cooked cauliflower for a lighter “faux mash”
