    These are the absolute best mashed potatoes, especially when you have no gravy. Love these with any meat at all . I use sour cream instead of creme fraiche

  • BethLynn | 10/29/2017

    I make these with plain ole Idaho potatoes, and can seldom find creme fraiche, so use sour cream, the grainy mustard and parsely, butter and garlic salt, and tad of whole milk. PERFECT.
