6 servings
- 3 lb yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 tbsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ tsp white pepper
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add 1 tbsp kosher salt and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, 18–22 minutes.

While the potatoes cook, combine the butter and buttermilk in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm to the touch but not simmering, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.
