Fluffy Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes

Source of Recipe

From "Dori Sanders' Country Cooking"


Recipe Introduction

"If you want a bit of additional flavor in these delicious potatoes, mix in one or two finely chopped green onions just before serving."

List of Ingredients

◦  1¼ pounds white boiling potatoes, peeled and sliced
◦  1 tsp salt, or to taste
◦  ¾ cup warm buttermilk
◦  ½ tsp baking soda
◦  2 tsp unsalted butter
◦  Freshly ground black pepper to taste


Recipe

Place the potatoes and 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 are 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 partially.

Add the warm buttermilk and baking soda, mix well, and mash completely. Stir in the butter and pepper and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you like your mashed potatoes creamy, add the reserved cooking liquid. Serve immediately.
