When we lived in DC our favorite restaurant was Mike's American Grill in Springfield, Virginia. Our favorite thing on their menu was their blackened prime rib with these potatoes. I weaseled the potato recipe out of them late one night. I have made this for lots of folks for lots of occasions and almost always someone cries. They are the bestest.
Stuff you need to go hunt for:
5 lbs redskinned potatoes
1 pt half and half
2 sticks brown butter plus 1/2 stick for topping
1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
2 TB salt
2 TB garlic powder
1 TB black pepper
Boil scrubbed potatoes with skin on until they are done. While they are cooking brown your butter in a skillet. It should be the color of caramel or honey and smell nutty. Reserve about 4 TB of butter for topping. Mash potatoes with half and half, butter, basil, salt, garlic and black pepper. Top with rest of browned butter and serve. Let the weeping begin.
