Instructions

  1. Add potatoes and 2 teaspoons of salt in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes.
  2. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until butter has a nutty aroma, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Measure out 2 Tablespoons of browned butter and set aside. See below for more detailed instructions on browning butter.
  3. Carefully whisk in milk to gently warm the milk. Be careful as the mixture may bubble.
  4. Drain potatoes. Return to the saucepan and either use a ricer (for smoother potatoes) or a potato mashed (for more chunky potatoes) to mash the potatoes. Mash until smooth and no lumps remain.
  5. Whisk browned-butter mixture into potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 Tablespoons of browned butter.

Notes

  • How to store and reheat mashed potatoes:
  • If you have leftovers, here’s how to store and reheat them while keeping them creamy:
  • Storing: Place mashed potatoes in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
  • Reheating: Gently reheat in a saucepan over medium-low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream and stirring frequently. You can also reheat them in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between.
