Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes given a nutty twist with brown butter.
Ingredients
- 900 g / 2 lbs potatoes
- 50 ml / ¼ cup whole milk hot
- 100 g / ½ cup butter
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the butter to a small saucepan and start heating over medium heat. The butter will melt and then turn frothy. Start stirring once foam can be seen, which will eventually go down to reveal brown melted butter. Be sure to keen an eye on the butter throughout the process. Once the butter is brown, take it off the heat to cool.
- Boil the peeled and quartered potatoes in salted water until they are tender. When done, drain and steam dry them to get rid of excess water. Return the potatoes to the pot and add hot milk. Mash with a potato masher until they are mostly smooth, then add the brown butter and keep mashing until smooth and most lumps are broken.
- Season with salt to taste and serve hot with more butter if desired.
