What a great idea! I used Nadine potatoes (general purpose) The crunchy roasted potato mashed with the buttermilk and chives make this dish a real winner. I didnt use as many potatoes so cut the amount of buttermilk back too. Thanks Bev!

These potatoes were different! My son loved them, the buttermilk gave them lots of flavor! My son made them and he left the peels on (lazy), and they were still good! He used regular baking potatoes.

Very interesting way to make potatoes i loved the roasted potato flavor and was pleasantly surprised that the buttermilk didn't really have the tang that i expected but added great creaminess and flavor. I used red potatoes this time but will try again with yukon. Thanks for posting!

Wonderful potatoes! The buttermilk gave the dish a very rich, unique flavor that we loved. I didn't have chives but used chopped green onions. My DH made potato pancakes the next night to have with grilled steak tips & onions rather than bread or biscuits, and they were a hit in that incarnation, too! Bev, this one's a real winner...totally delish. Thanks for sharing; we'll be making this one a LOT!
