Tips:

  • To get the creamiest mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold potatoes. They have a high starch content, which makes them extra fluffy when mashed.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. A ricer will remove all the lumps and create a light and airy texture.
  • Add milk or cream gradually until you reach the desired consistency. You don't want the mashed potatoes to be too runny.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as chives, parsley, or rosemary.
  • For the caramelized onions, use thinly sliced yellow onions. Cook them slowly over low heat until they are golden brown and caramelized.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes with the caramelized onions on top. You can also garnish with chopped parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

These garlicky mashed potatoes with caramelized onions are the perfect comfort food. They are creamy, flavorful, and easy to make. Whether you are serving them for a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, these mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit.
