BUTTERMILK MASHED POTATOES

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 pounds thin-skinned potatoes, such as yellow finns or yukon golds, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks if large
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon
3/4 cup buttermilk, warmed (not hot)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and 1 teaspoon of the salt in a medium saucepan, add enough water to cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to moderate and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
  • Return the potatoes to the pan and set over low heat, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the potatoes dry out a little (too much moisture will dilute their flavor). For the smoothest potatoes, pass them through a food mill. For a slightly coarser puree, mash with a potato masher or fork or use a hand mixer.
  • Beat the buttermilk into the potatoes with a wooden spoon until thoroughly incorporated. If you prefer even creamier potatoes, add a little of the reserved cooking liquid. Beat in the butter, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and plenty of pepper.
  • Serve at once, or keep the potatoes warm, covered, in a double boiler over hot water for up to 1 hour.

BUTTERMILK MASHED POTATOES



Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes image

From "Barefoot Contessa At Home" by Ina Garten. She says, "whenever I'm in San Francisco, I have to go to Zuni Café. Judy Rodgers, the amazing founder, told me that her buttermilk mashed potatoes were so popular that whatever she pairs with them on the menu is the most popular dish that night. I came right home and made my version of her famous dish." Have not tried these as yet, but they are a good read. Am posting here for safe-keeping. However, I did include some parsley to the dish.

FLUFFY BUTTERMILK-MASHED POTATOES



Fluffy Buttermilk-Mashed Potatoes image

Buttermilk and a smidge of baking soda work together here to create an impossibly fluffy potato side dish. We like to finish ours with an extra pat of butter that melts into a golden pool while we set the table.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 pounds potatoes (like Yukon Gold), peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and 1 teaspoon of 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 can be 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 partly. Cook the buttermilk in a saucepan over low heat to just barely warm it; do not let the buttermilk get too hot or it will separate. Add it and the baking soda to the potatoes and mash completely.
  • Stir in the butter, additional salt and the pepper to taste. If you like very creamy mashed potatoes, add the reserved cooking liquid. Serve immediately.
