Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes

Directions

1. 1
   Peel and chop potatoes, then add to a large pot. Fill with cold water, stopping just as the water reaches about an inch above the potatoes. Heat over high heat and let come to a boil, then cook for 25-30 minutes, or until fork tender.
2. 2
   When potatoes have about 5 minutes left, add butter to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Whisking continuously, cook until little brown bits appear on the bottom of the pan, then remove immediately from heat.
3. 3
   Drain potatoes, then add back to the pot, turning the heat to low. Mash with a potato masher to break up the chunks, then add in butter, milk, salt and pepper. Mash some more, or use a hand mixer to whip potatoes until creamy.
4. 4
   Garnish with fresh sage and serve. This serves about 4-6 with generous helpings and leftovers.
