First butter, so it melts, then add milk so it’s creamy.

Both. The potatoes have been through enough; let them have a rich afterlife. 🧈

Why are we choosing between them like mashed potatoes have a budget?

Both. Sour cream is also good. I melt the butter into the milk.

Heavy cream and butter. Mashed potatoes are supposed to be the most unhealthy thing on the plate when made correctly.😆

No milk. Butter, sour cream, and heavy whipping cream. I won't say that my mashed potatoes are the best in the world, but I will say that they're the best in the Local Galactic Group.

Both. Also add a block of cream cheese— trust me, it’s good.

"Or"? The question should be, do you choose milk/half and half/cream and butter or sadness? Unless you have dietary restrictions regarding dairy, then sadness has been chosen for you.

Butter and a bit of sour cream. Once in a blue moon I need to add a bit of potato water to make them creamy. It’s better than milk!
