This was my first attempt at from-scratch mashed potatoes. I used red potatoes and the flavor was perfect; I could still taste the potato, the creaminess of the milk, butter & buttermilk was not overwhelmingly rich, and the texture with 3/4 C. buttermilk was exactly how I liked.

I made this as a side dish for baby back ribs. I increased the buttermilk and did not use regular milk at all and they came out fabulous. My husband and son had seconds. Very easy to make, this recipe is a keeper. Thanks Ina!

Buttery, creamy mashed potatoes, it doesn't need anything else.

One reviewer said that these came out too watery. My suggestion is to add the buttermilk gradually to reach the consistency you're looking for. I ended up using only half a cup of buttermilk and found that the flavor and consistency was perfect. Keep tasting and adjusting ingredients as you go so you don't add too much of anything.

I also omitted any additional salt as I found what was added to the mashed potatoes earlier was enough.

simply wonderful. the buttermilk gives the potatoes a great flavor and the tip on keeping the potatoes warm really works out.

I made it and the result is very good. I made slightest changes: added to boiling potatoes some onion powder, then some dry dill to the ready mashed potatoes. Very good. Definitely will make again.

This is a great BASIC mash potato recipe. If you cook the potatoes exactly like the recipe says to, the potatoes come out soft and tender. Try to cut the potatoes roughly the same size. I cut mine about 1 1/2in cubes.
I don't have a food mill so I used a masher (I'm not exactly sure what you call that utensil and mixed the potatoes with the exact measurements of ingredients. They came out light and fluffy.
If you want to add more ingredients like others on here I'm sure it would taste great with this recipe. This recipe will not disappoint you if you looking for a basic recipe.

This recipe was mediocre. Her parmesan mashed potatoes are much better.
