    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

    Drain and Mash

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.

    Add Buttermilk and Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Pour the melted butter and buttermilk into the mashed potatoes. Stir until well combined.
