Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes

Print Recipe

Creamy mashed potatoes made with browned butter and only 5 simple ingredients, delivering a rich, nutty flavor and smooth texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 14 tablespoons Salted Butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3/4 cup Whole Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Place peeled and cut potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. While potatoes cook, melt butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as butter melts and foams.
  3. Continue cooking butter until it develops brown specks and a nutty aroma, then immediately remove from heat to prevent burning.
  4. Warm the whole milk briefly until hot but not boiling.
  5. Drain potatoes and return to pot. Mash potatoes until smooth.
  6. Slowly add browned butter and warm milk to the mashed potatoes, stirring to combine.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
  8. Serve warm.

Notes

Use a light-colored pan to monitor the butter as it browns to avoid burning. For extra creaminess, substitute half-and-half for whole milk. Season generously as potatoes absorb a lot of salt and pepper.
