Followed recipe exactly. So good and not full of butter.
So good-just used all cream instead of buttermilk and used chicken bouillon instead salt. Delicious and best I’ve ever made-Yukon gold are the best and easy to peel.
Easy to make
Amazing great for the weeks and easy a must have in my food list!
omg this was so easy and affordable will be making again with mashed potatoes
This is my first time to make mashed potatoes as my mother and my late mother-in-law make the most yummy & fatty mashed potatoes ever! Today, I decided to give this a try and my oh my! Hubby and daughter find it soooooo delicious and way better than my mom’s and my late MIL (God bless her soul!. I used ordinary Belgian potatoes, peeled and boiled them and used the microwave for heating the buttermilk & milk mixture. Hubby suggested to add some dash of nutmeg next time!
Thank you so much, Ellie!
Thank you so much, Ellie!
Delicious. Nobody knows this dish isn’t over-run with butter or cream. I used buttermilk and reduced fat milk straight from the carton. I also added 2 TBSP of fat free sour cream and lots of fresh cracked black pepper. The Yukon gold potatoes added a richness that was so good no butter was needed. Next time I will add either roasted garlic or try garlic powder for an additional flavor layer. Will never make regular mashers again! Thanks Ellie!
I love these potatoes! I boiled mine instead of steaming, and also found that heating the buttermilk was not good for me (it curdled even on the lowest setting). I heated the milk with the butter, then added the buttermilk after smashing.
These potatoes are perfect for dieting! Its not the same as the fattening, loaded with butter and heavy cream mashed potatoes, but it’s certainly a good, flavorful substitute.
These potatoes are pretty good. Although I have made other recipes that I prefer, the lower fat and calorie content of these potatoes is worth a little sacrifice in flavor. The creaminess of the Yukon golds is still there and with a little salt and pepper to finish the dish, they are tasty enough.
