For an even richer flavor, consider browning the butter before adding it to the food processor. A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a subtle warmth to the mash. If you don't have a food processor, a potato masher or ricer can be used, but the texture will be less smooth. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
