Mashed Potatoes:
In large pot, cover potatoes with water; boil just until a fork can be easily inserted into potatoes, about 15-20 minutes; remove from heat; drain potatoes; return to pot; add butter.; mash to desired consistency. Stir in warmed milk, 1/2 cup at a time, until creamy.
Browned Butter:
Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat; add thyme, stirring continuously the whole time. Remove from heat when the butter has reached a golden brown color, about 4-5 minutes. Remove; discard sprigs. It's ok for some thyme leaves to remain in the butter.
To Serve:
Transfer mashed potatoes to a serving bowl; pour browned butter on top. Generously season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Makes about 10 cups.
