1
Boil the Potatoes
Place the Yukon Gold potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
2
Drain and Smash
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Using a potato masher or fork, gently smash the potatoes while still warm, leaving some chunks for texture.
3
Prepare Brown Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
4
Combine Ingredients
Pour the brown butter over the smashed potatoes and add malt vinegar, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix gently to combine.
5
Garnish and Serve
Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the smashed potatoes before serving. Enjoy!
