Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, roughly 2 inches each. This ensures even cooking.
Fill a large pot with cold water and add the potato chunks along with 1 teaspoon of salt. Place the pot over high heat and bring the water to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, if using garlic, peel the cloves and mince them finely. Set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a minute to allow excess moisture to escape.
Return the pot to the stove over low heat and add the butter. Let the butter melt completely, then stir in the minced garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Remove the pot from heat and return the drained potatoes to the pot. Mash them using a potato masher or a handheld mixer, ensuring they are smooth or at your preferred texture.
Stir in the buttermilk in increments, starting with half a cup and adding more until the potatoes reach your desired creaminess. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and black pepper if needed.
Transfer the buttermilk potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with optional chopped chives for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy!
