Instructions
- In 3-quart saucepan, cover potatoes and squash with water; add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to boil over high heat; reduce heat, cover and cook until tender, approx. 12–15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add 2 tablespoons of the butter and the sage to small skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Tilting pan and watching closely, cook approx. 3 minutes, until butter foams and begins to brown; keep warm.
- Thoroughly drain potatoes and squash, return to pan, and shake 1–2 minutes over low heat to remove extra moisture. Roughly mash with hand masher leaving mixture chunky.
- Over low heat, gently mix in remaining 1 tablespoon butter and enough milk for consistency desired. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spoon into serving bowl and drizzle with brown butter and sage.
