Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks (about 1 inch).
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water, adding 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
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.
While the potatoes cook, warm the buttermilk in a small saucepan over low heat. Make sure it is warm but not boiling.
Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot over low heat for 1-2 minutes to let any excess moisture evaporate.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer until they reach your desired consistency.
Add the butter to the potatoes and stir until melted. Then slowly pour in the warm buttermilk, mixing continuously until smooth and creamy.
Stir in country mustard, the remaining teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the tangy, creamy goodness!
