Tips:

  • Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for making mashed potatoes, as they have a floury texture that will result in a smooth and creamy mash.
  • To ensure the potatoes are cooked evenly, cut them into uniform pieces before boiling. Cover the pot while the potatoes are boiling to help them cook more quickly.
  • Drain the potatoes well after boiling to remove any excess water. This will help prevent the mashed potatoes from becoming watery.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to achieve a smooth and lump-free texture for the mashed potatoes. Alternatively, you can mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork, but be sure to mash them until they are completely smooth.
  • Add the milk and butter to the mashed potatoes gradually, stirring constantly to ensure a smooth and creamy consistency. Use more or less milk and butter depending on your desired texture and richness.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as parsley, chives, or thyme, to enhance the flavor.
  • For the caramelized onions, use a large skillet and cook the onions over medium-low heat. This will allow them to caramelize slowly and develop a deep, rich flavor.
  • To prevent the onions from burning, stir them frequently and add a splash of water or white wine if they start to stick to the pan.
  • Once the onions are caramelized, add them to the mashed potatoes and stir to combine. Top with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and serve immediately.
