Ingredients

  • 5 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 10 tablespoons Butter divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Sage chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme
  • 1/2 cup Creme Fraiche

Instructions

  • Fill a large stockpot with water and add chopped potatoes. Salt the water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • In a separate pot heat the milk, 4 tablespoons of the butter, pepper, fresh sage, and thyme, until the butter has melted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Drain the potatoes, without rinsing and return to the pot. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth, or use an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to mash until just combined. Add the butter mixture and creme fraiche.
  • In a small pot melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to foam and turn brown in color before removing it from the burner. Pour over the mashed potatoes.
