Mashed Potatoes with Herbed Browned Butter
- Makes6 servings
- Cook Time35 minutes
In search of a twist on this holiday season essential, we looked to nutty browned butter. Infusing it with hearty herbs added a layer of unexpected yet familiar flavor. For an elevated finishing touch, we pour a portion of the fragrant butter directly over the mashed potatoes. In addition to thyme sprigs, use either sage or rosemary or, better yet, both. Buttery Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choice.
Tip
Don’t forget to heat the half-and-half so it doesn’t lower the temperature of the potatoes when added. Mashing the potatoes directly in the pot in which they were simmered, instead of in a bowl, also helps with heat retention.
