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.

MAKE-AHEAD MASHED POTATOES WITH BROWNED BUTTER
This is my favorite make-ahead mashed potato recipe, adapted from Southern Living. In fact, it's my favorite mashed potato recipe of all that I've tried. It presents beautifully and can stand alone without gravy or further butter. (And it doubles nicely.) Enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring the potatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, and water to a boil. While waiting for the potatoes to come to a boil, melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly for 6-8 minutes or just until butter begins to turn golden brown. Immediately remove pan from heat, and pour butter into a small bowl as butter will continue to get darker if it's left in the saucepan. From the small bowl, remove and reserve 2 tablespoons of the browned butter. Set aside to refrigerate for later use.
- Boil potatoes 20 minutes or until tender. Drain. Reduce heat to low and return potatoes to the pan; cook, stirring occasionally, 3-5 minutes or until potatoes are dry.
- Mash potatoes. Stir in browned butter from the small bowl (meaning all but the 2 tablespoons); buttermilk, milk, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt, stirring just until blended.
- Place potatoes in a lightly greased ovenproof serving dish. Cover and chill up to 2 days. When ready to cook, let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Bake uncovered at 350 for 40 minutes or until thorougly heated. (It took about 60 minutes when I doubled the recipe.) Microwave 2 tablespoons reserved brown butter to melt it; drizzle over potatoes.

Tips:
- To make the perfect mashed potatoes, start with the right potatoes. Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth when mashed.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Bring the potatoes to a boil in a large pot of salted water. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt, and pepper and mash until smooth. Don't overmix, or the potatoes will become gluey.
- To brown the butter, melt it in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns a golden brown color. Be careful not to burn it.
- Add the scallions to the browned butter and cook until they are softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
- Fold the browned butter and scallions into the mashed potatoes and serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Brown butter and scallion mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy and smooth, with a rich flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to dress up your mashed potatoes, give this recipe a try.
