Michelle, mayo does get rather greasy, it's true. A classic lyonnaise is just butter and olive oil, but Julia Child used heavy cream in hers. From what I can see in pictures from Pamela's, and descriptions, it sounds like the potatoes are buttery - perhaps they add a touch of heavy cream, as well? That would definitely add that creamy texture... PJH
