Alright, enough yakkin��� about how awesome these buttery beauts are. Here���s how we make this culinary masterpiece. Grab your apron and let���s get cooking!

Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 2 pounds of russet potatoes
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup of whole milk
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the tools, you’ll need a large pot, potato masher, small saucepan and a whisk.

The russet potatoes work best because they���re the starchy kind. That makes for fluffier and creamier mashed potatoes. If you want a healthier twist, you can replace the whole milk with almond milk. But remember, the creamier the milk, the creamier your mash will be.

How To Make Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes

1. First off, peel those potatoes and cut them into equal size pieces. Then, put them in a large pot with enough salted water to cover them completely. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they���re tender when poked with a fork. Drain ’em well!
2. While the potatoes are cooking, brown the butter in a small saucepan. Keep your eye on it and just as it starts to turn golden and smells nutty, take it off the heat.
3. Once, the potatoes are drained and the butter is browned, mash the potatoes with the milk, then whisk in that delicious brown butter. Season it with salt and pepper till it tastes just right to you!

Tips For The Best Results

• Keep the size of potato pieces uniform for even cooking.
• Brown the butter just right; not too dark and not too light.

Storage Tips

• These potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, simply microwave them or reheat gently on the stove, adding a bit of milk if needed.
