Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • Salt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 stick butter

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

Start by peeling and dicing about 2 and 1/2 lbs of Yukon Gold potatoes.

Make sure to cut them into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.

Step 2: Boil the Potatoes

Place the diced potatoes in a saucepan and add at least 1 teaspoon of salt.

Cover the potatoes with water and bring the pan to medium-high heat.

Boil the potatoes for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 3: Drain and Add Ingredients

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well.

Add half a stick of butter (or a whole stick for larger quantities) to the drained potatoes.

Pour in half a cup of slightly warmed buttermilk.

Step 4: Blend to Perfection

Using a mixer on medium speed, blend the potatoes, butter, and buttermilk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Make sure there are no lumps left.

Step 5: Final Touches and Serve

Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and top with an additional pat of butter before serving.

Enjoy your creamy and delicious mashed potatoes!
