Tangy Whipped Potatoes

This is how I make the potatoes for Thanksgiving. The buttermilk is going to give the potatoes a nice, tangy flavor.

What you will need:

Potatoes...10 pounds (1 bag)
Butter...1/2 to 1 stick
Salt...to taste
Pepper...to taste
Buttermilk...1/2-1 cup
Parmesan Cheese...1-2 cups


Putting it Together

• Skin potatoes and cut into quarters (this allows the potatoes to cook more quickly)


• Put in large pot, add water and salt (I usually put in a few chicken bouillon cubes to add a little flavor to the potatoes).


• When fork tender, remove from heat and drain


• Turn-off burner and replace potatoes in pot and return to burner. This will allow the excess water to steam out of the potatoes. Be sure to keep an eye on them, so they do not burn


• Place half of the potatoes in a bowl


• Add butter, salt, and pepper


• Either mash with a potato masher or use a hand mixer to blend


• Add 1/2 cup of Buttermilk and continue whipping


• Add additional buttermilk until you reach the desired consistency


• Add additional salt and pepper to taste


• Take other half of potatoes and repeat the above steps


• Add the Parmesan cheese and mix until well incorporated

Hope you enjoy.
