Boil The Potatoes To Perfection: Begin by placing the diced potatoes in a pot of salted boiling water. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender but not overly mushy. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.

Mash Away: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter and mash until smooth. The heat from the potatoes will melt the butter, creating a creamy base.

Buttermilk Magic: Pour in the buttermilk gradually, stirring continuously. The buttermilk adds a delightful tanginess and lightens the texture of the mashed potatoes. Keep stirring until the mixture achieves the desired creamy consistency.

Season To Perfection: Season the mashed potatoes with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste as you go, ensuring the flavors are well-balanced. Don’t be shy – this is where the magic happens!

Garnish With Elegance: Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle chopped chives on top. This adds a burst of color and enhances the overall flavor.
