Step 1
Cube potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, ~12 minutes.
Step 2
Pat veal shanks dry. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming. Sear veal 3 minutes per side without moving—surface should turn golden brown.
Step 4
Pour red wine and broth around the veal. Add thyme. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes until sauce reduces by half.
Step 5
Drain potatoes. Mash with remaining 1 tbsp butter, salt, and pepper until creamy but chunky.
Step 6
Divide mash between plates. Top with veal shanks and spoon sauce over. Serve immediately.
