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.

Potatoes prepared this way go well with an omelet for breakfast or a steak for dinner. -Mary Favatella Becker, Mohnton, Pennsylvania

Steps:
- Bring water to a boil as you slice potatoes thick or thin, leaving the skin on. (I keep my slices "potato chip shaped" and not too thin!).
- Boil potatoes until tender (when a fork can be inserted with ease), about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain in colander.
- Place potatoes in a big bowl and add plenty of butter/margarine. (I use at least 2-3 tablespoons maybe more, depending on number of potatoes used and whatever our mood happens to be!).
- Then sprinkle chives on top of potatoes to taste and for a little more color.
- *Add salt and pepper to taste.
- *Can add some bacon bits and shredded cheese on top or mixed if you like. I haven't ever tried that, but sounds like it might be good.

BUTTER BROWN POTATOES
My stepmom's recipe for delicious potatoes that are crunchy/chewy on the outside and soft and fluffy in the middle.

Steps:
- Peel potatoes and cut in half lengthwise (you only need enough that will fit in the bottom of your baking dish- so start with four and see if you need to peel more to fill the dish).
- Place butter/margarine in a 9x13 baking dish and place in a preheated 350 F degree oven, and let it melt. Remove from oven and add potatoes in coating thoroughly (you may have to use a basting brush for this). Arrange potatoes cut side down, and season with the salt and pepper.
- Return dish to oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour (depending on thickness of potatoes), or until the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through. For best results baste the potatoes with the melted butter in the bottom of the dish halfway through the cooking time.
- Note: this is a really easy side dish if you are cooking other items in the oven and can easily be made when you have to bake something between 325 and 375- just adjust the cooking time.
Tips:
- Use the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Red Potatoes or Yukon Golds, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, making them ideal for browning.
- Cut potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Preheat the pan: A hot pan will help the potatoes brown quickly and evenly.
- Use enough oil: The potatoes should be coated in oil to help them brown.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If the pan is too crowded, the potatoes will steam instead of brown.
- Stir the potatoes occasionally: This will help them brown evenly.
- Be patient: Browning the potatoes takes time. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with undercooked potatoes.
Conclusion:
Browning Red Potatoes is a simple but delicious way to enjoy this versatile vegetable. With a little patience and care, you can easily make perfectly browned potatoes that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Serve them as a side dish, or add them to your favorite recipes for a pop of flavor and color. So, next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to prepare potatoes, give browned Red Potatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
