Caramelized Onion and Horseradish Smashed Potatoes image

Caramelized onions give this incredible side dish a subtle sweetness, and the addition of horseradish gives it a little attitude! They make an absolutely fabulous side dish to prime rib, and have become a tradition every year at family holiday gatherings! To save time, the caramelized onions can be made ahead of time and refrigerated, then warmed before adding to the potatoes.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons butter
4 onion, sliced and separated into rings
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
½ teaspoon ground dried thyme
6 large baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, or to taste
salt and cracked black pepper to taste
¼ cup softened butter
¾ cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the onions have softened, and achieved a deep brown color, 15 to 25 minutes. Stir in vinegar and thyme, and cook for 5 minutes more.
  • While the onions are cooking, place cubed potatoes in large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander, and allow to steam for a minute.
  • To finish the dish, transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl, and use a potato masher to mix with Dijon mustard, horseradish, salt and cracked black pepper until smooth. Mix in softened butter, caramelized onions, and half-and-half until onions are distributed evenly.

These potatoes are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. They're also a great side dish for any type of meat or fish.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The potatoes are always crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the caramelized onions and horseradish are the perfect combination of sweet and savory.

These potatoes were a lot of work, but they were worth it! They were so delicious that I'm already planning on making them again next week.

I followed the recipe exactly and my potatoes turned out dry and overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These potatoes were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll probably make them again with less horseradish next time.

I've made these potatoes twice now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The caramelized onions are the star of the show, and the horseradish gives them a nice kick.

These smashed potatoes were a hit at our last family gathering! The caramelized onions added a delicious sweetness that balanced out the sharpness of the horseradish, and the potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
