In the words of Michael Smith (one of my favourite Canadian chefs), "Everybody knows how good mashed potatoes are but if you really want to impress your friends and family try them with brown butter. You won't believe how much flavour is locked into a stick of butter but you will believe these are the best-mashed spuds you've ever had!". Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cut the potatoes into large chunks then steam, boil or microwave them until they're tender. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, toss the butter into a small saucepot and heat it until it melts over medium heat. Because butter contains as much as twenty percent water it will then begin to steam and foam. Once the water has evaporated the foam will subside and the butter's temperature will begin to rise. The milk fat solids that are one or two percent of the butter will then begin to brown.
- Continue watching as it begins foaming a second time. Swirl it gently, watching the colour, until it turns golden brown and releases the aroma of toasting nuts.
- Immediately pour the browned butter into a bowl to stop it from browning further.
- When the potatoes are tender mash in the butter, nutmeg and seasonings. Taste and season a bit more if needed. Then watch the bowl empty!

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes, rinse in cold water and cut into fourths. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the butter to a saucepan over medium heat. Allow the butter to brown, 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to burn it. Swirl the pan as you go, stopping when the solids turn medium to deep golden brown.
- Drain the potatoes, then return them to the pot. With the burner on low heat, mash the potatoes with a potato masher; the more steam that's released while you mash, the better. Mash for about 5 minutes. Turn off the burner.
- Add the cream cheese, half-and-half, cream, some salt and pepper and three-quarters of the brown butter to the pot and stir to combine. If the mixture needs thinning, add some milk. Check the seasonings, adding salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the remaining brown butter over the top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Tips:
- To get the best flavor from your mashed potatoes, start with high-quality potatoes. Look for potatoes that are firm and have a thin skin.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until they are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, and seasonings. Use a potato masher or hand mixer to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or keep them warm in a covered dish until ready to serve.
Conclusion:
Brown butter mashed potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them creamy or chunky, with or without herbs, brown butter mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit at your next meal.
