• Drain the potato slices and put them through a food mill or potato ricer.
• Put the butter in a skillet and let it melt. Continue cooking about one and one-half minutes or until the butter is lightly browned or hazelnut-colored.
• Beat the browned butter and the creme fraiche or heavy cream into the potatoes.
• Cut the truffles into thin slices. Stack the slices a few at a time and cut them into thin strips, or batons. There should be about a quarter cup. Add the truffles, salt, pepper and nutmeg to the potatoes and beat well. Serve hot.

Beat in hot milk little by little until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (If making ahead of time, keep in a heat-proof bowl, covered with aluminum foil, set over a pot of hot water. You may need to add additional hot milk to thin).
