Categories     Potato

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

7 large russet potatoes, peeled and cooked
2 large sweet onions (diced about 1/2-inch)
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup whipping cream (or use 18% tables cream)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Do this firstly or while potatoes are boiling, in a skillet fry the onions in butter until golden brown (this might take about 15 minutes, and do not drain the butter, if you do you will have to add in more butter anyway!).
  • Boil the russets in a large pot of boiling water until fork-tender; drain and transfer the cooked potatoes to a large bowl.
  • Mash the potatoes with the whipping cream and fryed onion/butter mixture until fluffy (I use my Kitchen Aid stand mixer for this with the mixing attachment and make certain to mash the potatoes while they are still warm or hot).
  • If desired you can add in more whipping cream depending on the consistancy you desire.
  • Season with salt and tons of black pepper.

CREAMY POTATOES AND ONIONS

Categories     Milk/Cream     Onion     Potato     Side     Sauté     Vegetarian     Fall     Bon Appétit     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 white boiling onions (about 9 ounces total), thinly sliced
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes
2 cups water
1/4 cup crème fraîche or whipping cream
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter with oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and 2 cups water; bring to boil. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Uncover and simmer until almost all water evaporates, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add crème fraîche and 1 tablespoon butter. Stir gently to blend, being careful not to break up potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat before serving.) Sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For creamy mashed potatoes, starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds are best. These potatoes have a high starch content, which helps to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Boil the potatoes correctly: To prevent the potatoes from becoming gummy, boil them in salted water until they are tender but still firm. Do not overcook them, as this will make them mushy.
  • Mash the potatoes thoroughly: Use a potato masher or a ricer to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Do not use a blender or a food processor, as this will make the potatoes gluey.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste: Add salt, pepper, butter, and milk to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.
  • Make crispy brown onions: To make crispy brown onions, slice the onions thinly and fry them in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain the onions on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Conclusion:

This recipe for creamy mashed potatoes with crispy brown onions is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for any occasion. The mashed potatoes are smooth and creamy, while the crispy brown onions add a delicious crunch. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
