Browned Butter Smashed Potatoes with Butternut Squash Recipe

The United States Potato Board offers this recipe topped with browned butter, giving a mellow, nutty flavor to the roasted chicken.

Ingredients
1 pound (3 medium) yellow-flesh potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch chucks
1 small butternut squash (about 1 pound), peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch chunks
Salt
3 tablespoons butter, divided
8 to 10 fresh (2- to 3-inch) sage leaves, stacked and cut across into 1/4-inch strips
1/2 cup 1 % low-fat milk (approximate)
Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. In 3-quart saucepan, cover potatoes and squash with water. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and cook until tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, add 2 tablespoons of the butter and the sage to small skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Tilting pan and watching closely, cook about 3 minutes, until butter foams and begins to brown. Keep warm.
3. Thoroughly drain potatoes and squash, return to pan, and shake 1 or 2 minutes over low heat. Roughly mash with hand masher leaving mixture chunky. Over low heat, gently mix in remaining tablespoon butter and enough milk for consistency desired. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon into serving bowl and drizzle with browned butter and sage. Serves 4.

Thank you. The recipe should have said, "Over low heat, gently mix in remaining tablespoon butter and enough MILK for consistency desired,"

Fresher produce: It's in the Bag

Make your farmers' market goodies last three to four days longer by making your own produce storage bags. Use a pin to poke about 20 holes in a medium-size zip-top bag. That prevents the build-up of carbon dioxide, which slows the ripening process. read all tips
