Time 30m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds boiling potatoes
1/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Add them to the boiling water and bring the water back to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan, making sure it doesn't boil. Set aside until the potatoes are done.
  • As soon as the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Place a food mill fitted with a small disk/blade over a heatproof bowl. Pass the potatoes through the food mill, turning the handle back and forth. As soon as the potatoes are mashed, stir in the hot milk mixture with a whisk or rubber spatula. Add enough buttermilk to make the potatoes creamy. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper, and serve hot. To keep the potatoes warm, place the bowl over a pan of simmering water for up to 30 minutes. You can add a little extra hot milk to keep them creamy.

Categories     Milk/Cream     Dairy     Potato     Side     Christmas     Easter     Thanksgiving     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     St. Patrick's Day     Back to School     Fall     Winter     Small Plates

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 pounds thin-skinned potatoes, such as Yellow Finns or Yukon Golds, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks if large
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 cup buttermilk, warmed (not hot)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a medium saucepan, add enough water to cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to moderate and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
  • Return the potatoes to the pan and set over low heat, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the potatoes dry out a little (too much moisture will dilute their flavor). For the smoothest potatoes, pass them through a food mill. For a slightly coarser puree, mash them with a potato masher or fork or use a hand mixer. Beat the buttermilk into the potatoes with a wooden spoon until thoroughly incorporated. If you prefer even creamier potatoes, add a little of the reserved cooking liquid. Beat in the butter, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and plenty of pepper. Serve at once, or keep the potatoes warm, covered, in a double boiler over hot water for up to 1 hour.
  • In Advance: You can make the potatoes up to 3 hours ahead. About 20 minutes before serving, warm them in a double boiler, stirring frequently, until hot.

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.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     side dish

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.

  • 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.
