directions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Heat a dry saute pan on the stove over medium-high heat.
  • When the pan is hot, tilt the pan and add the extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Add the onions, salt, and a twist of pepper.
  • Lower the heat to medium and saute, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the onions are caramelized. When cooled, chop or puree onions and add to cream.
  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan with salted cold water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well.
  • Scatter on a baking sheet, and let cool for several minutes.
  • Place in the oven to dry out, about 5 minutes.
  • Press the potatoes through a ricer or a colandar.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until the butter stops foaming and turns a light brown.
  • Add the garlic and cook quickly until pale gold.
  • Add the cream and onions, season to taste with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.
  • If you like, add another cup of cream and cook until reduced by one-third.
  • Reduce the heat to low and beat in the potatoes with a wooden spoon or large whisk. Add the remaining butter by tablespoonfuls, stirring vigorously after each addition.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

  1. Tried these last night and they were very good. Of course I love both mashed potatoes and carmelized onions, so what could go wrong?! I also saved some of the onions and served them over the potatoes - couldn't resist. Thanks for the recipe.
