You can get that real buttermilk by getting a quart of cream (18%-32%) and shaking it up or running it in a blender until the butter is out, then that is real buttermilk, if you want it more like the commercial stuff and slightly sour tasting, just add some lemon juice or vinegar like you would to make the milk sour for when you don’t have buttermilk. My mother used to make butter from soured cream because you didn’t make it every day because you didn’t have enough cream from one cow! That gives you the sour buttermilk, these days they culture it like yougurt!

I have often wondered how buttermilk would work in mashed potatoes and now I can’t wait to try it. I’m also a buttermilk lover and always have some on hand. I especially love the Bulgarian buttermilk.

Ramona,

I hope you enjoy them. Will you need to wait until after your November doctor’s appointment for these, too? 🙂

I’ve never added buttermilk, but will be trying it now. We tend to eat more rice, but we do love potatoes. You make them hard not to try 🙂

In reply to Danny Taylor. Buttermilk is just awesome. Granny and Granddaddy used to drive way out in the country to buy buttermilk from a farmer. It had flecks of butter in it. Can't find buttermilk like that today.

Who cares about the clouds if we’re together,
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.

Happy trails to you, till we meet again.

Oh thank you, Ms Jackie, I’ve done nothing but sing Happy Trails for the past ten minutes. John looked at me as if I lived on a different planet. He’s younger and he never ever wore a neckerchief to watch tv. 🙂

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin’ until then.

Dale Evans wrote the words to the song and as a kid I could sing it all. Now I mumble through the bits I forgot. LOL

Anyone who hates mashed potatoes probably isn’t a friend of mine.

Love them…and I go a couple of steps further..I add garlic/powder/lemon pepper and some Italian seasoning….and…and….cheese!! Super Smashed Taters to die for!!!! But everyone doesn’t go for the souped up smashed taters so these are just for me!!!! But the buttermilk does add that little…kick….that makes them soooooo good!!!

Thanks for sharing!!
