Fluffy Mashed Potatoes Recipe - Cooking Index
| 2 oz | 56g | Russet potatoes - about 1-1/4 lbs. (large) |
| 1/4 cup | 59ml | Buttermilk |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Unsalted butter |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Salt |
| 1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Freshly ground pepper |
Cut each potato into 3 pieces. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, 20-25 minutes. Drain well.
When the potatoes are just cool enough to handle, peel and place them in a large bowl. Using a fork, mash them roughly. Mash in the butter, cut in 3 or 4 pieces, followed by the buttermilk, salt and freshly ground pepper. Mash just until the potatoes are fluffy and combined with the other ingredients. Adjust the seasoning and serve immediately.

Notes: For incredibly light, yet rich-tasting mashed potatoes, I use a bit of butter and a splash of buttermilk. The buttermilk gives them a creamy texture and its cultured flavor adds a tangy, old-fashioned appeal.
