Famous culinary advice from a chef: “Don’t add milk or water to your mashed potatoes. There’s one ingredient that will make it more tender than the one you get in a restaurant!”

  • You serve a side dish that looks like it came from a restaurant

  • Give your table a festive look without additional costs

  • Impress guests with professional presentation

  • The puree goes well with meat, fish or vegetables.

Where to find heavy cream

In the US, look for heavy cream or whipping cream in stores like Walmart, Kroger, Publix or online at Amazon Fresh.
In Mexico, Colombia, Argentina or Peru, you will find it as crema de leche para batir in supermarkets like Soriana, Éxito, Coto, Wong and others.

Don’t go after specific brands — the important thing is that the cream is at least 30% fat. It is what makes the puree silky and rich.

How to take puree to the next level

  • Add some cream cheese or grated Parmesan for a deeper flavor

  • Use clarified butter (ghee) for a healthier, lactose-free option

  • For a keto version, mix with cooked cauliflower — it makes a lighter and diet-friendly alternative.

A dish that brings everyone together

This puree is loved by both adults and children. It is suitable for a festive table, a Sunday lunch, and a weekday dinner. And for those who live abroad and miss the flavors of home, the recipe combines a cozy home tradition with a modern approach.
