Mashed Potatoes

December 8th, 2008

Don’t just mash your potatoes, make them irresistible. These are sure to be a smash at any table, especially when paired with an herb roasted turkey!

Ingredients:

6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 tablespoons butter, sliced
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 large white onion, diced
salt to taste
½ teaspoon brown sugar
3 tablespoons whipping cream
1/3 cup sour cream
½ cup cream cheese
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
1 tablespoon dried parsley
black pepper to taste

Directions:

• In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer on medium-high heat until the center of the potatoes are tender when pricked with a fork, about 25 minutes. Drain, and return potatoes to pot.
• Meanwhile, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions, sprinkle with salt, and cook 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are a deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Stir in brown sugar.
• Pour whipping cream over the potatoes, and mash with a large fork or potato masher. Stir in sour cream, cream cheese, soy sauce, Parmesan cheese, bouillon granules, and dried parsley.
• Stir in caramelized onions, and season with black pepper. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth. Reheat briefly over low heat, then serve.
