Absolutely delicious. And really quick and easy with too. Made for Aussie / Kiwi Swap March 2014.

Oh my goodness, what a great recipe for mashed potatoes. I almost always have a carton of buttermilk that needs to be used up and I never, ever thought of putting it in mashed potatoes. And I always have lots of interesting mustards. Brilliant recipe that went so well with roast lamb, asparagus and Recipe #425729. We ate very well. Thanks so much for posting.

Loved the addition of the mustard, really kicked the potatoes up a notch. Added parsley from my garden. Thanks for a lovely recipe.

Simple and delicious! DH was very happy with this for Christmas dinner to accompany his prime rib of beef. Thanks Mom2Rose! Made for Aussie Kiwi Recipe Swap #59.

I scaled this back for 1lb of potatoes and used Charisma potatoes (a white potato developed in Australia which is low GI and good for diabetics) and well in the rush and we prefer our potatoes on the firm side rather than smooth, so I just put in the butter with a little salt and pepper and mashed until most of the lumps were out and then added the grainy mustard and then buttermilk and beat it all together with the masher and it was all gobbled up, even the DM (who lately hasn't been keen about eating mashed potato) ate hers all up too. Thank you Mom2Rose, made for Make My Recipe - Edition 14.
