Boiling Potatoes:
Scrub or peel potatoes; place in large pot. Cover with cold water, add salt [about 1 tb for 16 cups of water.] and bay leaf. Bring to boil. Cover and boil for about 20 minutes or until fork-tender.

Drain, remove bay leaf and return potatoes to pot over low heat for 30 seconds to evaporate excess moisture.

Mashed Potatoes:
In pot, mash together potatoes, buttermilk, butter, salt and pepper until smooth.
