Ingredients
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
2. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
3. While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Continue to cook the butter, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Pour in the brown butter and heavy cream.
5. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add roasted garlic or cream cheese to the mashed potatoes.
Make sure to watch the butter closely while browning to prevent it from burning.
