Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pounds russet potatoes, peeled and chopped

  • ¾ cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cubed

  • 1 ½ cups whole milk

  • kosher salt and black pepper

  • chopped fresh chives, for serving

Directions

  1. Steam the potatoes in ½ inch of water, covered, until tender, 18 to 20 minutes (adding more water to the pot if necessary); drain.

  2. Meanwhile, heat ½ cup of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter foams and begins to brown, 6 to 8 minutes.

  3. Mash the potatoes with the milk, 1½ teaspoons salt, and ¾ teaspoon pepper. Fold in the remaining ¼ cup of butter. Top the potatoes with the brown butter and chives. Serve warm.
