Ingredients

  • 6 small gold potatoes scrubbed, peeled, and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 tbsp butter divided
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 sweet yellow onions halved & sliced thinly
  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp milk
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • Sea Salt and Freshly Cracked Pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel and cut the potatoes. Place them, along with a sprinkling of salt, into a large saucepan and add enough water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil over high heat then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-18 minutes. Drain the potatoes.
  2. While the potatoes are boiling, make the caramelized onions.  Place one tablespoon of butter and the olive oil into a large skillet over medium heat.  Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring often, for 25-30 minutes, or until caramelized and golden brown.  Season with sea salt, to taste.  Remove from the skillet and set aside. Side Note: If the skillet gets dry, add a tablespoon of water or two.
  3. Place the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and milk in a microwave-safe dish and heat them for 30-45 seconds, until hot & melted; season with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder, to taste.
  4. Pour the buttery milk mixture onto the potatoes with the sour cream; season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Mash the potatoes using a hand masher or hand mixer until creamy and smooth.
  5. Add half of the caramelized onions and mix to combine.
  6. Place into a serving bowl and top with the remaining caramelized onions. Serve immediately.  Enjoy.
