  1. 1

    Cook Potatoes and Prepare Ingredients

    Peel and cut potatoes into 1" dice.

    Bring a medium pot with potatoes, garlic cloves, and enough water to cover to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender, 14-18 minutes.

    While potatoes boil, trim stems off Brussels sprouts and slice thinly.

    Coarsely chop walnuts.

    Mince parsley, leaves and stems.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain cooked potatoes in a colander and return to pot.

    Add butter, milk, Parmesan, parsley, and truffle oil (to taste). Mash until desired consistency is reached. Season with 1/2 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper and set aside.

    While potatoes, cook Brussels sprouts.

  3. 3

    Start the Brussels Sprouts

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add Brussels sprouts to hot pan and stir occasionally until lightly charred, 3-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Brussels Sprouts

    Add walnuts and maple syrup to pan and stir occasionally until a light glaze forms, 1-2 minutes.

    Season with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Remove from burner and set aside.
