BEST OLD-FASHIONED MASHED POTATOES FOR A CROWD

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water by about 1 inch and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat, and then reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer briskly until fork tender, about 45 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving 1/2 cup of the water. Quarter the potatoes and pass them through a food mill or ricer back into the pan. (Peel them first if you are using a ricer). When the potatoes are almost done, heat the buttermilk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat to just under a simmer. Set aside; it will separate and look curdled but don't worry, it will mix in fine. Fold the buttermilk and reserved cooking water into the potatoes over low heat. Then fold in the butter a handful of pieces at a time until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

MAKE AHEAD MASHED POTATOES FOR A CROWD
A variation on Cindy Scheck's recipe # 71205, Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes for Crock Pot, adjusted to feed my large family at holiday gatherings. These are super easy and very good. It looks like a lot of directions, but it's really not - that's just me being loquacious and sleep-deprived. Cooking time is a rough estimate - I wasn't really paying attention. Don't look at the calories!

Steps:
- Butter and cream cheese should be allowed to soften at room temperature for ease of use. Leaving them on the counter while you peel the potatoes should be sufficient.
- Peel potatoes, rinse, and cut into large chunks. Place in a large stockpot and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes and boil till tender.
- While potatoes boil, blend 1 1/3 cup butter with the cream cheese. (This is best done in a stand mixer.) Add sour cream and mix well. Set aside.
- Chop green onions, and refrigerate in a ziplock bag till serving time.
- Drain cooked potatoes and mash or whip to your liking (I like them super smooth, but some people prefer them lumpy.).
- Add the dairy blend to the potatoes and mix well. You can either do this in your stock pot, or divide it up into more manageable portions.
- Once it's all mixed, load it into your crockpot and whack it into the fridge.
- On serving day, dot the top of the potatoes with the remaining butter. Put the crockpot on low setting for 2-3 hours or until heated thru, then turn down to 'keep warm' setting (if your crockpot has one) till dinner time.
- Can be served directly from the crockpot for buffet, or divvied up into serving dishes for family style dining.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 120C/100C fan/gas ½. Scatter the lemon slices, thyme sprigs and reserved dill stalks over the base of a large, shallow roasting tin or baking tray. Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper and rub half the olive oil all over the fish. Lay the salmon skin-side up on top of the lemon and herbs. Roast for 45-50 mins until the fish feels firm and a corner of skin peels away easily. If you have a digital thermometer, the salmon should be at about 55C when ready. Leave to cool slightly in the tin.
- While the salmon is cooking, tip the potatoes into a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 mins until just tender. Drain. Mix the mustard, lemon juice and olive oil together in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Tip the hot potatoes into the bowl and toss to coat in the dressing. Set aside. Can be served hot or made a day ahead and chilled.
- Carefully lift the salmon onto a serving platter, if you like (it can also be served directly from the tin). Peel away and discard the skin, then use a cutlery knife to neatly scrape away the grey meat on top (see quick fishcakes recipe, below, to use it up), leaving the pink flesh underneath. The salmon is now ready to eat warm, or leave to cool completely and eat at room temperature. (See tip for garnishing the salmon, below.) Will keep chilled for up to two days. Can be served cold.
- For the mayonnaise, mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Can be made a day ahead and kept chilled. Just before serving, brush the rest of the olive oil over the salmon and season with sea salt. Serve with the potato salad and dill & mustard mayonnaise on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold, Russet, and Red Potatoes are best for roasting, boiling, or mashing. For crispy fries, opt for Russet or Idaho potatoes.
- Cut potatoes uniformly: This ensures even cooking. For roasted or boiled potatoes, cut them into 1-inch cubes. For mashed potatoes, peel and quarter the potatoes.
- Season well: Potatoes are a blank canvas for flavors. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and herbs like rosemary, thyme, or sage.
- Roast potatoes at high heat: This creates a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Roast potatoes at 425°F (220°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Boil potatoes in salted water: Salting the water helps to enhance the flavor of the potatoes. Boil potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until tender.
- Mash potatoes with butter, milk, and seasonings: This creates a creamy and flavorful mashed potato dish. For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- Make potato salad with your favorite ingredients: Potato salad is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Add vegetables like celery, carrots, and onions, as well as hard-boiled eggs, bacon, or cheese.
Conclusion:
Potatoes are a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be prepared in a variety of ways. Whether you're roasting, boiling, mashing, or frying them, potatoes are sure to be a crowd-pleaser. With these tips and recipes, you can create delicious potato dishes that will be enjoyed by everyone. So, next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, reach for a potato!
