Instructions
  1. Place cooked potatoes through a ricer or use a masher. Mix through all the mashed potato ingredients and keep warm.

  3. Place cornstarch in one dish, egg and 1 cup buttermilk in another and flour with spices in a third dish. Drizzle remaining ¼ cup buttermilk in the flour mixture and press together to form small clumps.
  4. Dredge steaks in cornstarch first, shaking off any excess. Then dip into egg mixture and let excess drip off. Finally, place into flour mix, pressing to adhere on both sides. Let rest on a rack for 15 minutes.
