Nov 15 Herby Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes

Herby Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes. The thanksgiving recipes are on their way all week long and we’re starting them off with a classic. These super fluffy, buttery, herby potatoes are everything you need at your thanksgiving dinner table. And is it really thanksgiving without mashed potatoes?!

Mashed potatoes are the most needed dish on thanksgiving. They are like the ultimate side dish that everyone loves. This year we’re doing ours up a little fancy with an herby brown butter sauce for drizzling overtop. Aside from the herby brown butter this mashed potato recipe has been a classic of ours for years.

We are excited to share this recipe with you guys. This is the only mashed potato recipe we will ever make. It is so good, so creamy, so rich, and so decadent that they are extremely hard not to love. And since we have yet to share a mashed potato recipe with you guys, there is absolutely no better time than a week away from thanksgiving.

Speaking of thanksgiving…are you guys ready?! We are literally only days away and I don’t know about you guys, but I am SO beyond excited. It is definitely one of my favorite, if not my actual favorite, day of the year. Also we are sharing our full menu with you guys this week as well as tons of thanksgiving dishes…so stay tuned ;))
