Creamy, savory mashed potatoes made with anchovy butter bring a deliciously unexpected twist to any holiday table. They’re cozy, indulgent, and perfect for Thanksgiving or any festive gathering where you want a side that feels both classic and special.

Ingredients

• 2½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 5-6 large potatoes)
• 5 tablespoons anchovy butter, plus more for garnish
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• salt & pepper, to taste
• fried garlic/onions, chives, for garnish

Directions

Peel and quarter potatoes, add them to a large pot, cover with water and add a biiiiig pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until potatoes are very soft, about 20-25 minutes
Meanwhile, in a separate small pot over medium heat, heat anchovy butter and milk together until the butter melts. Set aside.
Drain potatoes and return to pot. Using a masher or a ricer, mash hot potatoes until smooth. Mix in the butter mixture and fold until just combined. (You can add more milk or melted butter to adjust the consistency to your liking) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer to serving plate and top with fried garlic chips/onions, chives, extra anchovy butter and fresh cracked black pepper.
