Number Of Ingredients 7

Perfect Mashed Potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups thinly sliced shallots
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
Salt

Steps:

  • Prepare perfect mashed potatoes . Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy medium skillet over high heat. Add shallots; sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir until shallots are golden, about 5 minutes longer. Add fresh sage, white balsamic vinegar, and sugar; stir until caramelized, about 2 minutes. Stir shallot-sage mixture into potatoes. Season with salt.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. These potatoes have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Do not overcook the potatoes. Overcooked potatoes will be dry and crumbly.
  • Use a ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. If you don't have a ricer or food mill, you can mash the potatoes with a potato masher until they are smooth.
  • Add the butter, milk, and seasonings to the potatoes while they are still hot. This will help the ingredients blend together smoothly.
  • For caramelized shallots, cook them slowly over low heat until they are golden brown and caramelized. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Fold the caramelized shallots into the mashed potatoes just before serving. This will add a delicious flavor and texture to the potatoes.

Conclusion:

Caramelized shallot mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. The caramelized shallots add a sweet and savory flavor to the potatoes, and the creamy texture of the potatoes is a perfect complement to the crispy shallots. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party or potluck.
