Brown Butter Garlic Mashed Potatoes

1. Wash potatoes, peel if desired, chop into 1" chunks, and place in the bottom of a 3 quart pan. Add cold water to cover the potatoes by one inch.

Boil the Potatoes

2. Place potatoes over a medium high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium low and simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 15 minutes.

3. While the potatoes boil chop the sage, make the garlic paste and brown butter.

Boil the Potatoes

1. Finely mince garlic cloves. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of salt.

Make the Garlic Paste

2. Using the flat blade of your knife, mash the salt into the garlic, fold, mince, and mash again, repeating until a paste has formed. Set aside.

Make the Garlic Paste

1. Place a light colored pan over a medium-low heat and add the butter. Butter will melt and foam up.

2. After the initial foam goes subsides, continue to cook, stirring or swirling the pan every few seconds until the milk solids turn brown with a nutty aroma.

3. Immediately remove the pan from heat and add in the sage and garlic paste. The butter will sizzle and foam up again as the residual heat fries the sage and garlic. Leave the brown butter sage and garlic sauce in the pan to cool.

Make the Brown Butter

1. Once potatoes are fork tender use a colander to drain off the liquid - do not rinse. Return the potatoes to the pan* and mash.

Mash the Potatoes

2. Add the brown butter, milk, and remaining salt (as needed) to the potatoes, and stir to combine. Serve immediately or cover and keep warm.
