How to make buttermilk mashed potatoes:

Place potatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt in saucepan and add enough cool water to cover. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat and cook until potatoes are tender. Drain, reserving few tablespoons cooking liquid. Place potatoes in large bowl and mash with potato masher or fork until fairly smooth (with some lumps remaining). Combine buttermilk and baking soda and beat into potatoes with wooden spoon; mix well. If you prefer creamier potatoes, add reserved cooking liquid. Stir in butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and plenty of pepper to taste.

Variation - Mashed Potatoes and Root Vegetables: Replace 6 ounces of potatoes with equal amount of pared, cooked chunks of turnip, celery root or parsnips and 3 whole, cooked, peeled garlic cloves. Proceed with mashing.
