Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds Russet potatoes
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons Country mustard (whole grain mustard)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks (about 1 inch).
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water, adding 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes cook, warm the buttermilk in a small saucepan over low heat. Make sure it is warm but not boiling.
Step 5
Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot over low heat for 1-2 minutes to let any excess moisture evaporate.
Step 6
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer until they reach your desired consistency.
Step 7
Add the butter to the potatoes and stir until melted. Then slowly pour in the warm buttermilk, mixing continuously until smooth and creamy.
Step 8
Stir in country mustard, the remaining teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 9
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy the tangy, creamy goodness!
