This is a recipe for french onion mashed potatoes, in which I, again, added my own twist. The trick to this is to keep everything hot throughout the entire process. Ingredients:
2 lbs potatoes, of choice |
6 tablespoons butter |
1 1/2 cups chopped onions |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
salt |
3/4 cup milk |
1/4 cup cooking sherry |
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional) or 3/4 cup gruyere cheese (optional) |
minced chives (as desired) |
bacon bits (as desired) |
cheddar cheese (as desired) |
sour cream (as desired) |
Directions:
1. Peel the potatoes & cut them into halves or quarters, depending on size.
2. Put in a large pot of water with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cook approximately 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
3. In small pan, heat the milk & 4 tablespoons of the butter. Cook until melted & warm.
4. In separate pan, sauté the onions in remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until caramelized to a golden brown. Add the sherry to the pan & sauté another 2 minutes until liquid evaporates.
5. Drain potatoes. Add the milk/butter mixture & start mashing. Season with salt & pepper, then add onions.
6. Fold in the cheese.
7. Remove from the heat. I recommend dishing up single servings & adding the remaining ingredients to those. You may also exclude the last 3 ingredients and simply top with gravy.
