Not on a low-sodium diet? Here's the standard Plain Mashed Potatoes.

Ingredients

• 3 quarts water
• 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 tsp unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup non-fat buttermilk
• 1/4 cup 2% milk
• 1/8 tsp salt
• fresh ground black pepper to taste

Place the water in a large stock pot over high heat.

Quarter the potatoes and add to the stock pot. Cover with water by about an inch. Bring to boil and then reduce heat until the water is simmering.

Cook the potatoes about 15 - 20 minutes until slightly soft in the middle. They should give when squeezed.

Remove from heat and drain water. Add butter, buttermilk, milk and salt. Mash potatoes until creamy. I like to leave some chunks. If you like them smooth be careful because over mashing will result in pasty potatoes. Add ground black pepper to taste.
