Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 large Sweet onion
- 5 stalks Green onions (scallions)
- 3 bulbs Shallots
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a large pot, add enough cold water to cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely slice the sweet onion and shallots. Chop the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet onion and shallots, stirring occasionally, and cook until they are deeply caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Add the white parts of the green onion and sauté for 2 more minutes.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet along with thyme leaves. Cook for 1-2 more minutes, then remove from heat.
When the potatoes are fork-tender (about 12-15 minutes of boiling), drain them and return them to the pot over low heat to evaporate any excess moisture.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese to the pot with the potatoes. Mash until smooth or to your desired consistency.
Fold the caramelized onion and shallot mixture into the mashed potatoes. Mix gently to combine, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and garnish with the green parts of the chopped green onions.
Serve hot as a flavorful side dish to complement your favorite main courses.
