Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs Russet potatoes
- 6 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Heavy cream
- 3 tbsp Prepared horseradish
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 Yellow onions (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.
Add a generous pinch of salt to the water, bring to a boil, and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the caramelized onions. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes until deeply golden and caramelized. Add the minced garlic in the last 2 minutes of cooking and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Let them sit for a minute to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Add the butter, heavy cream, prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the potatoes.
Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with more salt or horseradish to taste.
Fold half of the caramelized onions into the mashed potatoes, reserving the other half for garnish.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and top with the reserved caramelized onions.
Serve warm and enjoy!
