Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes , peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 bay leaf
Table salt
14 tablespoons unsalted butter (12 tablespoons, melted and cooled)
2 medium leeks , white and light green parts, rinsed well, quartered, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 1/3 cup buttermilk , at room temperature
6 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • . Place potatoes and bay leaf in large saucepan, add cold water to cover by 1 inch and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes break apart when paring knife is inserted, about 18 minutes. Drain potatoes, discard bay leaf, and return potatoes to saucepan set on still-hot burner. 2. While potatoes are cooking, melt 1 tablespoon butter in small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add leek and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and wilted, about 8 minutes. 3. Using potato masher, mash potatoes until a few small lumps remain. Gently add 6 tablespoons melted butter and buttermilk to small bowl and mix until combined. Add butter-buttermilk mixture, leeks, and chives to potatoes; using rubber spatula, fold gently until just incorporated. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper; serve immediately.
