From the Test Kitchen

There's nothing boring about these mashed potatoes, whose rich flavor and silky-smooth texture comes from additions of nutty brown butter, cream, and grated white cheddar.

step-by-step

instructions

1 Prepare the ingredients

Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Thinly slice the chives. Grate the cheddar on the large side of a box grater.

2 Cook the potatoes

Add the diced potatoes to the pot of boiling water. Cook 20 to 22 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.

3 Make the brown butter

Meanwhile, in a medium pan, heat the butter on medium-high until melted. Once melted, cook, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the foam subsides and the butter is fragrant (it should smell nutty and toasted). Turn off the heat.

4 Mash the potatoes & serve your dish

To the pot of cooked potatoes, add the brown butter, cream (shaking the packet before opening), and grated cheddar. Season with salt and pepper. Using a fork or potato masher, mash to your desired consistency. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the mashed potatoes garnished with the sliced chives and romano. Enjoy!
