Ingredients

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
  • 1 cup whole buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt plus more for cooking potatoes
  • ½ teaspoon ground white pepper

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes and salt in a large pot, then add just enough water to cover. Boil on medium-high heat until tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes. Drain in a colander.
  • Transfer the boiled potatoes to a mixing bowl and mash until mostly smooth.
  • Warm the buttermilk and butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan over low heat. Do not boil. Pour the mixture over the mashed potatoes and mix to combine.
  • Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
