While some chefs may describe a potato as creamy, they are also using lots of
cream in their mashed potatos and lots of dairy and fats to enhance that
texture. When reading/trying recipes by many chefs I find they forgetfully omit
that extra dollop of cream, pat of butter and/or extra drizzle of olive oil
which makes the dish special.
