Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes

By hanley89

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes(about 4 medium), peeled and slick 1/2 inch thick
• Salt
• 2/3 cup buttermilk at room temperature
• 3 Tbs unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1/4 cup sour cream at room temperature
• Pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Place potatoes and 1 tbs salt in a large saucepan, add enough water to cover the potatoes by one inch, and bring to a simmer over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium low and cook gently until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart, 15-18 minutes
Drain the potatoes and return to the sauce-pan set on the still hot burner. Using a potatoe masher, mash the potatoes until just a few small lumps remain. Gently stir the buttermilk and cooled butter in a bowl until combined. Fold the buttermilk mixture and sour cream into the potatoes until just incorporated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve
