Mashed potatoes so good that you won't even miss the gravy.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs potatoes, scrubbed clean and cut into cubes
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup reduced-fat buttermilk (more if needed)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Bring a saucepan of water and the kosher salt to a boil. Add potatoes to boiling water.
  • If using small potatoes, just boil whole. Add garlic cloves. Boil the potatoes over medium heat until they are very tender.
  • Drain potatoes and add back to the saucepan. Place the potatoes back on the warm burner and allow the extra water to evaporate.
  • Mash them up with a potato masher, process in a food mill, or use a ricer.
  • When potatoes are mashed, add butter and stir to combine.
  • Add buttermilk until you get the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Do not over mix.
