Ingredients

  • 10 to 12 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 to 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, rough chopped
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Yield

Serves: 4 to 6

Preparation

Slice potatoes in half, place in a large pan, and cover with cool water. Bring to a boil for 25 to 35 minutes, or until potatoes are tender enough to mash.

Drain water, and add the rest of the ingredients, reserving 1 cup milk to use only if needed. Mash by hand or with a hand mixer. Taste for salt.
