Makes 6-8 Portions of Sweet Onion and Sage Mashed Potatoes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 pounds large russet potatoes, peeled, quartered
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup diced yellow onions
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp minced fresh sage
- salt and *pepper, to taste
Preparation:
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.
