Classic Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Recipe By Southern Living

Your holiday dinner that you spent so much time preparing would not be complete without an indulgent side of mashed potatoes. In the south, we just know that mashed potatoes should be more than an excuse to eat gravy, and it is pretty much impossible to beat a classic creamy dish of buttermilk mashed potatoes. No amount of stir-ins or extra ingredients can rise to the challenge. In this traditional recipe, the texture and flavor of russet potatoes, a favorite choice when making mashed potatoes, is enhanced with a trio of dairy flavors: tangy buttermilk, creamy butter, and velvety rich crme frache. A family favorite for special occasions but perfect for weeknight meals, this dish is so rich you wont even need that gravy. Serve these potatoes during the week with pork tenderloin, fried chicken, or country-fried steak. After boiling and draining the potatoes, dry them in the dutch oven over heat to remove as much moisture as possible. This creates fluffier, not mushier, mashed potatoes. You can also make these one day in advance for any occasion by preparing, covering, and refrigerating until needed. Simply reheat when ready to serve You dont have to get fancy with a great dish of mashed potatoes. Just garnish with a fat slice of melty butter for a look that is completely southern. (we do love our butter).
