Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes

post-title

These caramelized onion mashed potatoes are next-level. The deeply savory flavor of slowly caramelized onions adds much more than the simple ingredients would have you think.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • mashed potatoes
  • 6 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. For caramelized onions, melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions, beef broth, salt, and pepper. Cook until onions are a deep golden brown, stirring occasionally, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Bring potatoes to a boil in a pot with enough cold, salted water to cover by an inch; cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; return potatoes to the pot, dry potatoes in the pot over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds.
  3. Heat butter and milk together in a saucepan over medium heat until butter melts. Coarsely mash potatoes with a potato masher. Add butter mixture and mash until fluffy. Season with salt and pepper. Top mashed potatoes with caramelized onions to serve.
