If you don't normally buy Yukon Gold potatoes, you are in for a treat. They are truly golden color and have a very nice, "potatoey" taste... I don't know how else to describe them.
Buttermilk is actually low in fat, contrary to what the name sounds like. If you want to keep this dish a bit more figure-friendly, you can replace the heavy cream with either half-and-half or even low fat sour cream.
