Golden Fried Onion Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes are such a tried and true favorite. If you are an onion lover, this is a great way to add extra flavor to the potatoes.
Ingredients
- 6 large russet potatoes, boiled and peeled
- 1 large sweet onion diced (about 1/4" dice)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Peel, wash and cut the potatoes into quarters.
- Place into a large saucepan and just cover with water.
- Bring to a boil, then turn down to simmer and cook about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Drain the water. Mash potatoes with milk and keep warm.
- While the potatoes are cooking, in a skillet fry onions in butter until golden brown and caramelized.
- Do not drain butter that the onions were cooked in.
- When onions are done add to potatoes and mix well but don't over beat as potatoes become pasty if you do.
- Depending on the consistency you like, may want to add more milk. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
