Steps

Prepare Potatoes

Peel the potatoes, cut them into uniform, medium-sized pieces, then wash thoroughly. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add one teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are completely tender.

Caramelize Onions

While the potatoes are cooking, peel the onions and slice them into thin half-rings. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat, then add the onions. Season with salt and pepper, then sauté over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown, caramelized, and soft. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make Mash

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, warm milk, salt, and pepper. Mash thoroughly with a potato masher or fork until you get a creamy, lump-free purée. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve

Serve the creamy mashed potatoes, generously topped with the caramelized fried onions. Enjoy immediately while hot.

Extra Tips

► For an even creamier mashed potato, use warm milk or cream and mash with a potato masher, not an immersion blender.

► The fried onions will be even sweeter if you add a pinch of sugar at the beginning of caramelization.

► Experiment with other spices, such as a pinch of nutmeg in the mash or fresh parsley for serving.
