Instructions

How to Make Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes

  • Begin by peeling and cutting the potatoes into even chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.
  • Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat and let the potatoes cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well afterward.
  • Return the drained potatoes to low heat for about 1 minute to evaporate excess moisture.
  • Mash the potatoes until fluffy, then mix in the warm buttermilk and butter until combined.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  • Serve in a warm bowl and top generously with crispy onions.

Notes

Optional: Drizzle with extra melted butter for an indulgent touch.
