You can use whatever you want. How about using some potato water with
the cream? I find the very best mashed potatoes have very little
added liquid and butter. I mash them first, add the amount of butter
I want to add, then if I'm in a decadent mood - a little cream
followed by just enough water to get them to the fluffy consistency I
like or water followed by cream if I'm not in a decadent mood. It's
all good, but one way has more calories than the other.
