I made Ina Garten's flavorful mashed potatoes. From now on, I'll bring this easy side dish to every dinner party.

Lizzy Briskin was impressed by Ina Garten's buttermilk mashed potatoes recipe, finding it tangier and more flavorful than previous attempts. The dish uses six simple ingredients: kosher salt, potatoes, whole milk, unsalted butter, buttermilk, and black pepper. Briskin chose Yukon Gold potatoes for their easy boiling and creamy texture, though Russets would also work.

After peeling and cutting the potatoes into 1 ½-inch cubes, they were boiled gently until tender. The water was then drained, and the potatoes returned to the pot to be mashed. A warm mixture of butter and milk was incorporated into the potatoes, followed by a half cup of buttermilk. Seasoned with additional salt and pepper, the result was a creamy, tangy, and flavorful side dish perfect for any dinner party. Briskin plans to serve the potatoes at Thanksgiving and future holiday gatherings.
