Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook the potato slices and garlic in water to cover until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Mash, peel and all, in a food mill. (The little bit of skin that goes through is not a problem.). Stir in the basil and buttermilk to a creamy consistency; season with salt and pepper.

Tip
  • If it is necessary to reheat potatoes, cover and reheat in microwave oven. If potatoes become too dry, add a little more buttermilk.
