    These fluffy and delicious Sage Mashed Potatoes have a special place on our holiday table. Be it Christmas, Thanksgiving, or a special celebration, I make these mashed potatoes when I want to impress my guests.

    Cooking sage leaves in butter before adding it to potatoes gives this dish a very unique flavor. I've shared this recipe with my guests so many times because almost everyone asks how to make it. So, I am very excited for you to try these, and impress your friends and family during your next dinner gathering.

    WHAT KIND OF POTATOES ARE BEST 

    Use higher starch potatoes, such as Russet or Yukon Gold for the best results. Waxy potatoes, such as Red Bliss, Charlotte, or Anya, require more mashing to become creamy, and create a slightly different texture. These potatoes are best for roasting, boiling, casseroles, and potato salads.

    SAGE

    You'll need fresh sage leaves for these mashed potatoes (dried sage leaves do not work in this recipe). They can be found in most large grocery stores, in the fresh herbs aisle. Fresh sage will keep in the fridge for up to a week.

    HOW TO MAKE SAGE MASHED POTATOES

    1. Peel and quarter the potatoes, place them in a large pot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
