Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 4 stalks Green onions (scallions), thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes cook, slice the yellow onion into thin strips.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes or until the onions are golden and caramelized. Remove from heat.
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher until smooth but slightly textured.
Stir in the caramelized onions and half the sliced green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the smashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Top with the remaining green onions for garnish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if using.
Serve hot and enjoy your Double Onion Smashed Potatoes!
