How to Make Mashed Potatoes

  • 3 pounds russet or Schnucks Gold potatoes peeled and cut into 2-1/2-inch chunks
  • 4 tablespoons Schnucks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup low fat buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup Schnucks whipping cream
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  1. Combine the potatoes in a large saucepan with 1-1/2 teaspoons of salt and enough cold water to cover. Heat to boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes can easily be pierced with a fork.

  2. While potatoes are cooking, place the buttermilk and whipping cream in a small pan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Keep this mixture warm until the potatoes are done.

  3. When potatoes are ready, drain them and return potatoes to pan to heat and shake for 30 seconds so the surface water evaporates. Remove potatoes from pan and place in a large bowl while they are still hot. With potato ricer, rice them back into the pot.

  4. Whisk in the butter and warm buttermilk mixture. Do not over mix. Season with remaining salt and pepper.

  5. Suggested garnishes: Bacon bits, cheese or chives.
