Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Yellow onions
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Coarse grain mustard
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until the onions become golden brown and caramelized. Lower the heat if needed to prevent burning. Once caramelized, remove from heat and set aside.
While the onions are cooking, peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Add the potatoes to a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-18 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to release excess steam.
In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream and milk over low heat. Do not boil.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer, gradually adding the softened butter, warm cream, and milk mixture. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the caramelized onions, coarse grain mustard, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and serve warm. Enjoy with your favorite main courses!
