SWEET POTATOES WITH CARAMELIZED ONION
I fail to remember where this recipe first appeared but chances are it was from Canadian Living magazine. This simple dish is much richer than you would expect and pairs well with grilled meats especially lamb and pork. Since sweet potatoes are very moist, adjust the amount of sour cream or milk to your taste. I do recall that the original recipe recommended placing the sweet potatoes and onion mixture in a food processor until blended. I found this method too gluey and altered it as stated.

Nutrition Facts :
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for caramelizing, as they hold their shape well and have a slightly sweet flavor.
- Slice the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the potatoes from burning.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary, so that they have enough room to brown.
- Be patient: Caramelizing the potatoes takes time, so don't rush the process. Cook them over low heat until they are golden brown and tender.
- Add some herbs and spices: To add extra flavor to the potatoes, try adding some herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder.
- Serve immediately: Caramelized potatoes are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Caramelized potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little patience, you can create perfectly caramelized potatoes that will impress your family and friends.
