I swapped out the butter for olive oil and reduced the heavy cream from 1 cup to 1/4 cup.
I added turmeric to make it more colorful but it’s a beneficial adaptogen
Cut the onions and potatoes smaller so it takes less time to soften but if you’re mashing by hand, larger potatoes would be better.
Be careful while using the immersion blender! It’s hot liquid, I definitely got splashed.
