Ingredients
Method
- 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 20 minutes.
- Drain, and shake dry
- Return the potatoes to the pan and set over low heat, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to dry the potatoes, slightly.
- Mash the potatos with a potato masher or fork or use a hand mixer
- Beat in 1 cup buttermilk into the potatoes with a wooden spoon until thoroughly incorporated. Adjust the texture with additional buttermilk.
- Beat in the butter, add salt and pepper to taste

Notes
A riff on my other mashed potato dishes. I happen to have some buttermilk that had to be used and made a happy discovery of how it enhances the taste.
