Sage Butter Mashed Potatoes Recipes

SAGE BUTTER ROASTED GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

MASHED POTATOES WITH FRIED SAGE

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 1/2 inches. Add 2 teaspoons salt, the garlic and bay leaves and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium to maintain a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart, about 20 minutes. Drain well and return to the pot off the heat; discard the bay leaves.
• Add the half-and-half, 2 tablespoons butter and a few grinds of pepper to the pot. Mash the potatoes until very smooth. Add the mascarpone and mash until creamy, adding more half-and-half as needed to loosen. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat; cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter starts browning, 3 minutes. Add the sage leaves and cook until crisp, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add a pinch of salt and swirl to dissolve; pour over the potatoes before serving.

SAGE & BROWN BUTTER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Chop 5 lbs of russet potatoes into one or two inch cubes. Remove the skin for a smoother, creamier texture.
• Add the chopped potatoes to a large pot along with 1/2 tsp of salt. Fill the pot with hot water, cover with a lid and let it boil on high heat for 20-25 minutes. Once the potatoes are fork tender, drain them and put them back into the pot.
• While the potatoes are cooking add a stick of unsalted butter, garlic and fresh sage to a large pot and simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes remove the sage and garlic and add in the milk, mix and simmer for 5 more minutes.
• Add the sage, brown butter and milk mixture to the pot of drained potatoes. Give everything a good mix and mash using a potato masher until you reach your desired level of smooth, creamy goodness.
• Serve warm and enjoy!
• Optional topping: crispy fried sage.

MASHED SWEET POTATOES WITH SAGE BUTTER

Steps:

• Cover sweet potatoes with water in a 2-quart heavy saucepan and add salt. Cook, covered, over moderately high heat until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking liquid, then drain sweet potatoes in a colander. Transfer sweet potatoes and reserved cooking liquid to a bowl and mash with a potato masher.
• Mash together butter, sage, and salt and pepper to taste, then stir half of sage butter into sweet potatoes. Serve potatoes topped with remaining sage butter.
