Ingredients

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

Coarse salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cubed

1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Freshly ground white pepper

Preparation

Place potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tines of a fork, 12 to 15 minutes.

Add butter to potatoes and, using a handheld masher, mash butter into potatoes. Gradually add buttermilk, mashing until desired texture is achieved. Season with salt and white pepper; serve.
