Ingredients

• 4 medium baking potatoes , peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks
• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

1. ¹ Cook the potatoes in a pot of boiling water until they are very soft, 15 to 20 minutes.

2. ² Drain in a colander and return to the pan. Using a hand masher or mixer, mash potatoes.
