GARLIC PARMESAN BROWNED BUTTER MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and cut into large chunks. Boil in salted water for 20 minutes or until fork tender (not falling apart).
• Halfway through cooking time, prepare browned butter: Heat butter in a small pan over medium-heat.
• When butter begins to foam, add the crushed garlic and reduce heat to medium. Stir continuously and swirl the pan until the butter it begins to change colour and turn golden brown with a nutty aroma. Its normal to see crispy little brown bits at the bottom of the pan. Remove immediately from heat. Set aside.
• Drain potatoes and transfer them back to the pot.
• Strain just over half of the browned butter over the boiled potatoes through a sieve. Reserve crispy garlic pieces to serve later.
• Add the parmesan cheese and milk. Beat with a hand beater until smooth and creamy (about 1-2 minutes) -- or use a potato masher. Add extra milk if you like a thinner mashed potato consistency.
• Taste test and season with more salt if needed.
• Serve with reserved browned butter, extra parmesan cheese, chopped parsley and crispy garlic pieces.

CREAMY GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and dice potatoes, making sure all are relatively the same size. Place in a large saucepan, add the salt, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce heat to maintain a rolling boil. Cook until potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork.
• Heat the half-and-half and the garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain off the water. Mash and add the garlic-cream mixture and Parmesan; stir to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes so that mixture thickens and then serve.

BROWN BUTTER MASHED POTATOES

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.

INSTANT POT GARLIC PARMESAN MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Set a wire rack or steamer trivet inside the bowl of a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Place the whole potatoes on top of the rack in a single layer, as best as possible. Pour in the water. Lock the lid and set the valve to seal. Set the cook time at high pressure for 20 minutes. Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes before manually releasing any residual steam.
• Carefully open the lid and remove the potatoes and rack onto a plate; set aside. Drain the water and return the bowl to the Instant Pot. Set to sauté and once the bowl is dry, add the butter and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the butter has melted and the garlic has begun to brown. Stir in the milk and cook until the milk has warmed through.
• Turn off the pressure cooker and add the potatoes back into the pot with the warmed milk and garlic. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. Stir in the salt, garlic powder, pepper and parmesan. Give it a taste and adjust seasonings accordingly. Serve warm with the chives on top for garnish.
