FLUFFY BUTTERMILK-MASHED POTATOES



Fluffy Buttermilk-Mashed Potatoes image

Buttermilk and a smidge of baking soda work together here to create an impossibly fluffy potato side dish. We like to finish ours with an extra pat of butter that melts into a golden pool while we set the table.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 pounds potatoes (like Yukon Gold), peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving a few tablespoons of the cooking liquid.
  • Place the potatoes in a large bowl and mash partly. Cook the buttermilk in a saucepan over low heat to just barely warm it; do not let the buttermilk get too hot or it will separate. Add it and the baking soda to the potatoes and mash completely.
  • Stir in the butter, additional salt and the pepper to taste. If you like very creamy mashed potatoes, add the reserved cooking liquid. Serve immediately.

MASHED POTATOES COOKED IN MILK RECIPE - (3.6/5)



Mashed Potatoes cooked in milk Recipe - (3.6/5) image

Provided by Golfwidow7

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 1/2 pounds white, red, or Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and quartered
salt
milk or heavy cream (which ever you have handy)
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream, warmed (this I eyeball)

Steps:

  • Place potatoes and salt in a medium pot, cover with 2/3 water and milk/cream to 2 inches from top, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover partially, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 35 minutes. Drain, Combine potatoes, butter, milk/cream with either a potato masher or electric mixer. You have to judge the smoothness you like. If you need to reheat the potatoes return to pot, and place over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup or so cream, and cook, stirring constantly, until heated through. Serve immediately, or keep warm in a covered bowl over simmering water for up to 2 hours.
