Betty's Browned Butter Mashed Potatoes Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make fluffy and flavorful Browned Butter Mashed Potatoes. These make a great accompaniment to almost any meal; with the extra flavor from the browned butter, they are extra special!

Ingredients:

¾ cup butter (1 ½ sticks)
4 pounds potatoes, peeled and sliced into 3/8-inch slices. (I used Idaho potatoes, but you may use any potatoes that cook and mash well.)
3 teaspoons salt
1 ¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon white pepper

Place ¾ cup butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until butter begins to turn golden brown—about 8 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and pour into a Pyrex glass measuring cup. The butter will become overbrowned if allowed to sit in the hot saucepan. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the browned butter in a Pyrex custard cup for use as a topping for the mashed potatoes when they are done. Place 4 pounds of peeled and sliced potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Add 2 teaspoons salt and place over medium heat. When the potatoes come to a boil, reduce the heat and boil 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain the potatoes, discarding the potato water. Let potatoes sit for a few minutes, so that they will dry out a bit. Meanwhile, stir 1 teaspoon lemon juice into 1 1/4 cup milk. Now, mash the potatoes with a potato masher to desired consistency. Add browned butter (except for the 2 reserved tablespoons), 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon white pepper, and about 1 cup of the lemon juice-milk mixture to the mashed potatoes. Stir until blended. You may add the leftover ¼ cup lemon-juice milk mixture and mash a bit more, if you choose. When the consistency is to your satisfaction, ladle the mashed potatoes into a nice serving bowl. Drizzle the reserved 2 tablespoons browned butter over the top. Absolutely delicious! Enjoy!!! --Betty 

This looks so good!! :( too bad I don't have a potato masher.

[bettyskitchen]

@Heyzitzaperson If you have an electric mixer, just beat them with a mixer.

Another thing I found odd is I have ALWAYS been told to heat up the milk &/or cream before adding it to the hot potatoes.

I love the idea of using brown butter for your mashed potatoes, but the one thing I thought was odd in your video was that you wee using in a non-stick pot for the butter. Most people would benfit from using a stainless steel non coated pan as it is much easier to see if the milk solids that are browning don't go too far. You can see the "brown bits" better against the steel rather than the black coating on the pot.
