Mashed Potatoes With Golden Brown Onions Food

FRENCH ONION MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• To the Mashed Potatoes, add the Caramelized Onions and Gruyere, reserving 2 tablespoons of each for garnish. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the crushed Croutons and the reserved cheese and onions.
• In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt and enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until fork tender, about 10 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and return to the pan. Shake the pan over medium heat for about a minute to dry the potatoes. Transfer the potatoes to a food mill, ricer or bowl.
• Put the milk and butter in the saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until the butter melts and the milk is hot. Remove the pan from the heat. Mash the potatoes through the food mill, ricer or by hand into the pan. Stir to combine with the milk and butter. Season with salt and pepper, and add nutmeg if desired. Serve immediately.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and toss to coat with butter. Cover and slowly cook onions, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10 minutes. Turn the heat up to medium high and begin to brown the onions, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk together the butter, olive oil, oregano and garlic salt, and toss with the bread cubes. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and toasted, 15 to 20 minutes.

GARLICKY MASHED POTATOES WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the heads of garlic in half crosswise and drizzle with the oil. Wrap the garlic in foil and roast until creamy, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves into a small bowl and mash lightly with a fork.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally and lowering the heat if the onions begin to burn, until golden, about 30 minutes.
• Put the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cold water and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring just to a simmer and simmer the potatoes, uncovered, until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain.
• Peel the potatoes and return them to the pot (if desired, pass them through a ricer or food mill after peeling). Add the onions. Mash the potatoes and onions with the milk and butter using a fork or potato masher. Stir in the roasted garlic and 2 teaspoons salt; season with pepper.

YUKON GOLD MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and cut potatoes into a ½-inch dice. To prevent potatoes from wobbling as you dice, cut a flat base for the potato to rest on as you make your slices. (Note: Potatoes can be peeled and diced 1 day in advance. Store completely submerged in cold water in the refrigerator, changing the water every few hours to prevent browning.) Place potatoes in a pot filled with cold salted water (as "salty as the sea"). Bring to a boil over high heat, 6-8 minutes. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until fork-tender but not falling apart, 15-20 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander, then add back to the pot. Turn heat to low and let the potatoes release additional moisture, 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat.Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Work all the potatoes through the ricer and back into the pot.
• With the pot over low heat, gently fold in butter and sour cream, mixing just enough to melt and incorporate; overmixing will result in a gluey texture. Add the milk a splash at a time, gently mixing to incorporate; repeat until you reach your desired consistency. (You may have milk left over.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl; garnish with extra butter and/or freshly chopped chives, optional. Serve immediately.

CREAMY MASHED POTATOES WITH CRISPY BROWN ONIONS

Steps:

• Fill a large mixing bowl with cold water. With a swivel-bladed vegetable peeler, peel each potato and remove any "eyes," then cut it in quarters with a sharp knife and put in the bowl of water.
• Put the potatoes in a large pot and add cold water to cover them. Salt the water. Over high heat, bring the water to a boil, skimming off foam that rises to the surface; then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook the potatoes just until tender enough to be pierced easily with a skewer or a sharp knife tip.
• While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the onions: In a deep-fryer or a deep, heavy saucepan, heat about 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees F. Lightly dust the onion rings with flour and carefully drop them into the hot oil, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry them until golden, 3 to 5 minutes, removing them with a slotted spoon or wire skimmer to drain on paper towels. Season lightly with salt and keep warm.
• When the potatoes are done, drain them immediately. Using a ricer or a food mill, puree the potatoes into a mixing bowl. Add the nutmeg, 8 tablespoons of the butter, and the hot cream. With a wooden spoon, stir them into the potatoes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Mound the potatoes in a heated serving bowl. Put the remaining butter in a saucepan or skillet and, over medium-high heat, melt it and continue cooking just until it turns golden brown. Lightly season the butter with salt and immediately drizzle it over the potatoes.
• Pile the crispy onions on top of the mashed potatoes. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Sauté onion in a little bit of oil or butter (which ever you prefer) over medium heat. Until its a nice golden brown, and soft.
• Peel and chop potatoes, cover with water (salt the water) and bring to a boil. Then bring it down to a simmer for 15-20 minutes until you can easily poke a fork thru the potatoes. Drain potatoes.
• Add in milk (it shouldnt be cold), butter, salt and pepper to taste. Mash all ingredients together with potatoes until you get the consistency you like. Some like super creamy, others like somewhat lumpy. (I think lumps give it more of the homemade feel)
• Fold in onions and serve.

MASHED POTATOES WITH GOLDEN ONIONS AND ROQUEFORT

CREAMY MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut into uniform 1/2-inch pieces. Place into a 4-quart saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1-inch. Cover, set over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove the lid, decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the potatoes can easily be crushed with a pair of tongs, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander.
• Put the cream, butter, salt and pepper into the now empty 4-quart saucepan and place back over the heat until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat and set a food mill fitted with the smallest die, on top of the pot. Add 1 cup of potatoes at a time to the mill. Once all of the potatoes have passed through the mill, stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Serve immediately.

CREAMY FRIED ONION MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Do this firstly or while potatoes are boiling, in a skillet fry the onions in butter until golden brown (this might take about 15 minutes, and do not drain the butter, if you do you will have to add in more butter anyway!).
• Boil the russets in a large pot of boiling water until fork-tender; drain and transfer the cooked potatoes to a large bowl.
• Mash the potatoes with the whipping cream and fryed onion/butter mixture until fluffy (I use my Kitchen Aid stand mixer for this with the mixing attachment and make certain to mash the potatoes while they are still warm or hot).
• If desired you can add in more whipping cream depending on the consistancy you desire.
• Season with salt and tons of black pepper.
