This is our absolute FAVORITE way to make mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving! Pair them with a little turkey gravy and my oh my! So good! Actually, you don’t even need the gravy, because they are tasty to eat all by themselves!

If you haven’t seen all the rage over BROWNED BUTTER in recipes, then you are missing out. Honestly, when it first became popular, I was really confused. In culinary school, I was never taught to brown butter for anything.
Browning your butter wasn’t considered a good thing at least that I can remember. But if you are careful, and don’t burn your butter, brown butter actually adds a great depth of flavor to your recipes. Pair that with the sautéed garlic, and you have the perfect mashed potatoes!

Our favorite potato to use in these Browned Butter and Garlic Mashed Potatoes is a red potato. We think they taste the best! We also like to leave the skin on and leave our mashed potatoes a little chunky.
Obviously everyone’s preferences are different. You can still use russet potatoes, peel them, and mash them until smooth. It’s all up to you, but if you want a simple mashed potato, that still is seasoned well on it’s own, aside from the turkey and gravy, you MUST make these!
