Steps:
- Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a medium saucepan with whole garlic cloves and broth. Add water as needed to just cover the sweet potatoes.
- Bring sweet potatoes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the sage-infused brown butter. Finely chop sage. Add butter to a small skillet and heat over low heat, stirring, until butter is golden. If you listen carefully, the butter will stop crackling when it is browned. Add sage and stir, then turn off heat.
- Drain sweet potatoes, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add browned sage butter, salt and pepper. Use a potato ricer or masher to mash sweet potatoes until smooth, adding cooking liquid as needed until the desired consistency is reached.
- Serve hot. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Add potatoes to a large pot and fill pot with water, just enough to cover the potatoes. Salt the water with a tablespoon of salt. Cover and bring water to a boil. Once boiling, remove cover and cook for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until potatoes are very tender.
- While the potatoes boil, add 3 tablespoons of butter to a small sauce pan. Place over medium heat and cook until butter browns, but doesn't burn. Remove from heat and add sage, remaining butter, and heavy cream. Set aside.
- Remove potatoes from water (but do not discard the water!) and place into bowl of stand mixer. Add butter and cream mixture. Pulse mixer with paddle attachment to mash the potatoes. If you don't have a stand mixer, simply use a potato masher to achieve this.
- Once potatoes are mashed, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of salt (to taste). Mix on low to combine, or use a wooden spoon to combine. If potatoes are too dry, add a little of the reserved potato water until desired consistency is reached. Place in serving dish and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 1/2 inches. Add 2 teaspoons salt, the garlic and bay leaves and bring to a boil over high heat.

Drain well and return to the pot off the heat; discard the bay leaves.

- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat; cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter starts browning, 3 minutes. Add the sage leaves and cook until crisp, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add a pinch of salt and swirl to dissolve; pour over the potatoes before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth, even skin. Avoid any potatoes that are soft, bruised, or have signs of sprouting.
- Prick the sweet potatoes before baking: This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from bursting.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: Insert a fork or knife into the center of the potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
- Make the sage butter while the sweet potatoes are baking: This will give the butter time to infuse with the flavor of the sage.
- Use fresh sage: Dried sage can be used, but fresh sage will give the butter a more intense flavor.
- Serve the sweet potatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Mashed sweet potatoes with sage butter is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet potatoes are creamy and flavorful, and the sage butter adds a touch of savory richness. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
