Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes image

From "Barefoot Contessa At Home" by Ina Garten. She says, "whenever I'm in San Francisco, I have to go to Zuni Café. Judy Rodgers, the amazing founder, told me that her buttermilk mashed potatoes were so popular that whatever she pairs with them on the menu is the most popular dish that night. I came right home and made my version of her famous dish." Have not tried these as yet, but they are a good read. Am posting here for safe-keeping. However, I did include some parsley to the dish.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h5m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

kosher salt, to taste
3 lbs boiling potatoes, Yukon Gold
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 lb unsalted butter or 1/4 lb unsalted margarine
3/4-1 cup buttermilk, shaken
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
fresh parsley leaves, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-1/2" cubes.
  • Add them to the boiling water and bring the water back to a boil.
  • Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, heat the whole milk (ONLY - don't be tempted to heat the buttermilk with the whole milk and cream; it will curdle) 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 or blade over a heat-proof 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-and-butter mixture with a rubber spatula.
  • Add enough buttermilk to make the potatoes creamy.
  • Add 2 teaspoons of salt and the pepper, or more to taste, 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.
  • Enjoy!
  • The Barefoot Contessa served this with roast capon, green beans with shalotts, orange-honey glazed carrots and pumpkin mousse parfait.

These mashed potatoes were a disappointment. They were dry and lumpy, and they didn't have much flavor. I won't be making them again.

I've made these mashed potatoes several times now and they're always a hit! They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. I love the tangy flavor from the buttermilk, and they're always creamy and fluffy. I highly recommend this recipe!

These mashed potatoes were a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to them to make them flavorful. However, they were still creamy and fluffy, so they weren't a total loss.

These mashed potatoes were a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with regular milk instead of buttermilk. However, they were still creamy and fluffy, so they weren't a total loss.

I've never been a fan of mashed potatoes, but these were actually really good! The buttermilk added a nice tanginess that really complemented the potatoes. I will definitely be making these again.

These mashed potatoes were just okay. They were creamy and fluffy, but they didn't have much flavor. I think I would have preferred them with some garlic or herbs added to them.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these mashed potatoes turned out terrible! They were watery and bland, and they didn't have any texture. I ended up throwing them away.
