Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 batch Mashed Potatoes, recipe follows (or use your favorite recipe)
1 cup Caramelized Onions, recipe follows
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup store-bought or homemade Croutons, coarsely crushed, recipe follows
2 pounds russet potatoes (about 4 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
3/4 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
Freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg, optional
3 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, thinly sliced
Pinch sugar
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 cups 1/2-inch bread cubes (from crusty Italian bread)

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.

CHEESY ONION POTATOES



Cheesy Onion Potatoes image

If you are not a garlic-lover then omit the garlic powder, since the onion soup mix is salty I advise not to add in any extra salt. --- this makes a huge amount, but don't worry there won't be any leftovers! --- make certain to let the dry onion soup mixture sit in the hot melted butter for 30 minutes this will allow the onion flakes to soften, a few more or less potatoes will not matter -- these may also be made in a large greased heavy foil pan and cooked on the outdoor grill ---all amounts may be adjusted to suit taste :)

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 -8 potatoes (quartered or sliced peeled or unpeeled)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1.5 (1 1/4 ounce) packages lipton dry onion soup mix
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional I like to add it in)
1/2-1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups grated cheddar cheese (can use less)
5 large green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • If you are using unpeeled potatoes make certain to wash and scrub the skin, and if you are slicing the potatoes ahead of time and soaking in water the potatoes must be dried with a paper towel before using in this recipe.
  • Place the hot melted butter in a bowl; add in garlic powder,dry onion soup and cayenne pepper; mix to combine and allow to sit for about 30 minutes to soften the onion flakes (you may leave it sit for more time if desired) stir occasionally.
  • Slice the potatoes into quarters, then place in a large roasting pan; sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Pour the butter mixture over the potatoes; toss to coat (I use my hands for this).
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Set oven rack to bottom position.
  • Bake uncovered 30 minutes.
  • Remove and stir the potatoes.
  • Place back in the oven and bake uncovered for another 20- 30 minutes or until just fork tender, removing and stirring another time while cooking (cooking time will depend on the thickness of the potatoes).
  • Sprinkle with cheese and green onions over the hot potatoes.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality russet potatoes.
  • Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used, but they will result in a less creamy mashed potato.
  • Be sure to peel and dice the potatoes evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Do not overcook the potatoes, or they will become gummy.
  • Use a potato ricer or a food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer or food mill, you can use a hand mixer or a fork to mash the potatoes, but be careful not to overmix them.
  • Stir in the butter, cream, and sour cream until the mashed potatoes are smooth and creamy.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Top the mashed potatoes with the cheesy French onion mixture before serving.

Conclusion:

Cheesy French onion mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor. The caramelized onions and melted cheese add a touch of elegance to this classic dish. Whether you are serving them for a holiday meal or a weeknight dinner, these mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit.
