1
In a large pot of cold water, add the potatoes and garlic, and bring to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
2
While the potatoes cook, heat the whole milk, 4 tablespoons butter, chopped sage, and thyme sprigs in a saucepan over medium heat until the butter has melted. Remove from heat and let the herbs sit in the warm milk until the potatoes are done. Remove the thyme sprigs.
3
Drain the potatoes and garlic, and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes over low heat, or use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
4
Add the herbed milk mixture and crème fraîche to the mashed potatoes. Mix until smooth and combined.
5
In a skillet, melt 6 tablespoons butter over medium heat until just browned. Whisk in any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
6
Pour the browned butter into the mashed potatoes, and mix well. Season with 1 teaspoon fresh black pepper.
7
Serve the potatoes warm, topped with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and chopped fresh chives.
