I used the fresh sage and thyme in this recipe from the herbs in my garden.

1-2 tbsps unsalted butter, to top the potatoes for serving

Instructions

Boiling Potatoes

Fill a Dutch oven or large soup pot with water, sprinkle 1 tsp of Kosher salt in the water, and add washed and cut Yukon Gold potatoes in. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Once the water is at a boil, you can bring it down to a simmer. You should be able to prick a piece with a fork and it should come easily out. When they are done, drain them in the sink in a large colander.

Heat Butter-Half and Half-Herb Mixture

In a small saucepan, over low-medium heat, add 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chopped, fresh sage and thyme leaves, and half and half. Bring to a simmer and stir to combine. After it's simmered for 1-2 minutes, remove from heat.

For Serving in a Slow Cooker

Set the slow cooker to keep warm. Add the cooked, drained potatoes and Butter-Half and Half-Herb Mixture. Using a handheld electric mixer (for best results), mix the ingredients until smooth and combined. Before serving add 1-2 tablespoons melted butter on top and a couple of sage leaves to garnish. Keep the cover on between serving. If the potatoes get dry, just add some more half and half and mix in.

For Serving in a Large Bowl on the Table

In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked, drained potatoes and Heat Butter-Half and Half-Herb Mixture. Using a handheld electric mixer (for best results), mix the ingredients until smooth and combined. Before serving add 1-2 tablespoons melted butter on top and a couple of sage leaves to garnish. Enjoy!

Notes

You could also add garlic to the butter mixture if you want, I would do 1 tsp. minced garlic. Garlic flavor would go beautifully with this recipe.
