Caramelized Onion and Butter Mashed Potatoes
These Caramelized Onion and Butter Mashed Potatoes are based on Chef Robuchon's ideal ratio of two parts potato to one part butter. Rich, creamy, indulgent, and full of tender caramelized onions, these mashed potatoes make any meal an occasion to remember.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold or white potatoes peeled and cut into quarters or eighths
- water for boiling
- 1 1/4 pounds butter 5 sticks of butter or 2 1/2 cups butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup caramelized onions
- Salt to taste
- Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and generously salt it. Add the potatoes and boil until very tender. Drain all of the water from the potatoes in a colander, letting them air dry a bit but not cool. Return the potatoes to the pan. Add the sticks of butter and caramelized onions, mash until the potatoes are smooth and the butter has melted and incorporated completely. Taste the potatoes and adjust with salt if necessary.
