Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes image

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 medium russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1 inch pieces
2 large onions, chopped
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Place 2 tablespoons of butter and chopped onions in large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally until golden in color and fragrant.

Drain potatoes and add to large bowl with sour cream, onions and the rest of the butter. Mash with potato masher or with an electric mixer until desired consistency is reached.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are a good choice for mashed potatoes because they have a creamy texture and hold their shape well.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and watery.
  • Season the potatoes well: Mashed potatoes need plenty of salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh onions and fennel will give your mashed potatoes the best flavor.
  • Caramelize the onions and fennel slowly: This will help to develop their flavor and sweetness.
  • Add the caramelized onions and fennel to the potatoes just before serving: This will help to keep them from getting soggy.
  • Garnish the mashed potatoes with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
