Ingredients
- 2½ pounds russet potatoes, peeled and chopped

How to Make It
- Steam the potatoes until tender, 18 to 20 minutes; drain. Mash with the milk. Fold in 4 tablespoons of the butter. Season with 1½ teaspoons salt and ¾ teaspoon pepper.
- Cook the remaining ½ cup of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter foams and browns, 6 to 8 minutes. Top the potatoes with the brown butter and chopped chives.
