Instructions
- Peel and quarter the potatoes. Combine with cold well salted water to cover by 1 inch in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over moderate heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and deep golden, about 8 minutes.
- Drain potatoes in a colander, return to pan, and mash to desire consistency with a potato masher.
- Stir in the shallots, buttermilk salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Use starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes to give it a buttery texture.
- Adjust the seasoning before serving, and add more salt or black pepper as needed.
- Do not rush the process of the caramelized onions. You want to cook them over moderate heat and stir them frequently to achieve that uniform golden color.
- I always dry out the potatoes before proceeding with the recipe. This step will remove any excess liquid from your mashed potatoes and prevent them from being too soft and liquidy.
- If you wish for finer potatoes, use a potato ricer in lieu of the masher.
