How to Make Mashed Potatoes With Caramelized Onions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Heat a large dry sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil.
- Add 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Reduce heat to medium and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown.
- Set aside to cool slightly. Roughly chop or puree the caramelized onions.
- While onions caramelize, peel and chop 2 lbs russet potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well.
- Spread potatoes on a baking sheet and let cool for 5 minutes to release excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, use a potato ricer or masher to thoroughly mash the potatoes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat until lightly browned.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and the caramelized onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
- Gradually add the mashed potatoes to the cream mixture, stirring until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons additional butter, one tablespoon at a time, until incorporated.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately.
