BROWN BUTTER SAGE POTATOES
Complexity: Easy
Ready In: 30 Minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Washington Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
- 4 cloves garlic (whole and peeled)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 8 leaves fresh sage, torn
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Transfer potatoes and garlic to large saucepan. Add cold water to cover and season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain well, discard garlic cloves, and transfer potatoes to saucepan set over low heat.
- To medium skillet, stir together butter and sage for 2 to 3 minutes or until fragrant, and butter stops frothing and turns a light brown color. (Brown butter should smell nutty.)
- In a small bowl, stir together brown butter mixture and warm milk. Pour over potatoes and mash until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Remove from heat and fold in Parmesan.
