Sweet Onion and Sage Mashed Potatoes

Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and fill with enough cold water to cover potatoes by 2-inches. Add a tablespoon of salt to the water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are just tender.

While the potatoes are cooking, add the oil and onions to a skillet, and sauté over medium heat until onions soften and turn golden brown. When potatoes are done, drain well and add back to the pan. Place the pan on a very low flame for 1 minute to dry the potatoes. Add the butter and mash briefly to break up the potatoes. Add the milk, onions, sage, salt, and pepper to taste; and mash until smooth and fluffy.

* freshly ground black pepper, white pepper, or cayenne pepper can be used according to desired taste and appearance.
