Recipe Introduction
"Actress Ali Larter adds a surprise ingredient to her tangy buttermilk mashed potatoes: baking soda, which makes them light and airy."
List of Ingredients
◦ 3 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
◦ Fine sea salt
◦ 1 stick unsalted butter
◦ 1 � cups buttermilk
◦ 1 teaspoon baking soda
◦ Freshly ground pepper
◦ Chopped chives, for garnish
Recipe
In a medium saucepan, cover the potatoes with 2 inches of water. Add 1 teaspoon of sea salt and bring to a boil, then simmer over moderate heat until the potatoes are tender when pierced, about 30 minutes. Drain well, then return the potatoes to the hot saucepan and mash with a potato masher.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter. Remove from the heat and stir in the buttermilk and baking soda; the mixture will foam up. Stir the buttermilk mixture into the mashed potatoes and season with sea salt and pepper.
Scrape the potatoes into a serving bowl and garnish with chives. Serve warm.
