They are a brilliant way to use up leftover potatoes & are so good that it's worth baking or boiling up some potatoes specially!!

I've found this version - even when made with..."

"These mashed potatoes are creamy, fluffy and slightly tangy thanks to the creme fraiche. A ricer is used on the potatoes to make them really smooth, but you could always mash by hand. Simple goodness! From Food & Wine.
