CARAMELIZED ONION MASHED POTATOES



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. Add quartered potatoes to a large pot filled with salted water. Bring to a boil, then cover and turn to low. Cook until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. 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:

  • To make the creamiest mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. These varieties have a high starch content, which will give your potatoes a smooth and fluffy texture.
  • Be sure to peel and cube the potatoes before boiling them. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and watery.
  • Use a potato ricer or a food mill to mash the potatoes. This will give them a light and airy texture.
  • Add the butter, milk, and seasonings to the potatoes while they are still hot. This will help them absorb the flavors.
  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • To make the caramelized onions, use a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown.
  • If you don't have time to make the caramelized onions, you can use store-bought French fried onions instead.
  • To serve, spoon the mashed potatoes into a serving dish and top with the caramelized onions. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.

Conclusion:

Mashed potatoes are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be dressed up or down to suit your taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the creamiest, most delicious mashed potatoes that you've ever tasted.
