- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.

- 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.
