Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes are so creamy with just a little tang from the buttermilk. They will be a hit at Thanksgiving or for whatever meal you serve them.

 
Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes have a little less fat than the typical mashed potatoes that I make which are laden with butter and cream. The buttermilk adds all the flavor you need.
There are so many ways to make mashed potatoes. Everyone has their favorite way. I personally love these Mayonnaise Mashed Potatoes. They are amazingly creamy.

 
Tips for making Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes

I prefer to use Yukon Gold potatoes for mashed potatoes, but Russet potatoes work fine. I find the Yukon Gold to be just a little creamier.
To get mashed potatoes with the perfect texture, use a potato ricer. If you don’t have one, you can use a potato masher or even an electric mixer. Just be sure not to overbeat them with an electric mixer or they will get gluey. You can use either full fat or low fat buttermilk.
Don’t heat the buttermilk or it will curdle. Heat the milk and butter in a saucepan, but just barely warm the buttermilk in the microwave or add it in at room temperature.

The buttermilk really makes these potatoes a winner.
