Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 cloves Garlic (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, roughly 2 inches each. This ensures even cooking.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, if using garlic, peel the cloves and mince them finely. Set aside.
Step 5
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a minute to allow excess moisture to escape.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Transfer the buttermilk potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with optional chopped chives for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy!
