• After the potatoes are drained, pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat over low just until it simmers. Turn off the heat.
• Place a food mill fitted with the finest blade on top of the large saucepan. Process the potatoes into the pan. (Alternately, use a ricer or potato masher, making sure the potatoes are very smooth before proceeding.)
• With the heat on low, vigorously whisk the cold butter into the potatoes several bits at a time, waiting for each addition to be incorporated before adding more butter.
• Once all the butter has been integrated, slowly whisk in enough of the hot milk to make the potatoes the desired consistency, creamy but still thick. Add 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Whisk in the lemon zest, reserving some for garnish, if desired. Season to taste, and serve hot. Sprinkle with reserved lemon zest just before serving.

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes, but do not peel them. Cook in water to cover, with garlic, until tender, about 10 minutes. Mash potatoes, still unpeeled, in a food mill or with a mashing tool; pick out and discard large pieces of skin. Stir in the basil and buttermilk; season with salt and pepper, and serve. (Potatoes can be made in advance and refrigerated. Before serving, put potatoes in glass dish, cover with plastic wrap and reheat in microwave oven for 4 to 6 minutes on high setting. Stir once or twice while reheating. If potatoes become too dry, stir in a little buttermilk.)
