CREAMY MASHED POTATOES WITH CRISPY BROWN ONIONS



Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Crispy Brown Onions image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 pounds Yukon gold or other yellow-fleshed potatoes
Salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 pound onions, cut crosswise into thin slices and separated into rings
All-purpose flour
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
12 tablespoons (6 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, at room temperature
1/2 cup heavy cream, brought to a boil
Freshly ground white pepper
Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

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.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon brown or black mustard seeds
1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Pop the potatoes into a medium saucepan and fill with cold water until covered by about 1-inch. Season well with salt. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, and cook until a fork inserted into the center of the potato meets no resistance, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and pass through a ricer or food mill. Stir in the butter while hot.
  • Warm the oil over medium-high heat in a skillet, preferably cast iron. Add the seeds; they should sizzle upon contact. Once they stop popping, add the onions and saute until softened.
  • Add the mashed potatoes to the pan and flatten with a spatula so that potatoes can begin to crisp. Continue to toss and re-flatten the potatoes until there are patches of crispy deliciousness all the way through the potatoes, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

MASHED POTATOES WITH ONIONS



Mashed Potatoes With Onions image

super easy mashed potatoes with sautéed onions, so good and a great side dish to any meal :) and its not super unhealthy

Provided by iheartfood2

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 -4 lbs potatoes
1 onion
oil or butter
2/3 cup nonfat milk, warmed
1/4 cup unsalted butter
salt
pepper

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.

Tips:

- To make perfectly fluffy mashed potatoes, start with well-seasoned water. Add salt and peppercorns to the water before boiling the potatoes. - Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for the best results. These potatoes have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth when mashed. - Do not overcook the potatoes. Overcooked potatoes will be watery and bland. - Drain the potatoes well before mashing them. This will prevent the potatoes from being watery. - Use a potato ricer or a food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. - Add butter, milk, and chives to the potatoes while they are still hot. This will help the ingredients blend together smoothly. - If you are using a hand mixer to mash the potatoes, be careful not to overmix them. Overmixed potatoes will become gluey. - Season the mashed potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. - Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Crunchy onion mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are creamy and fluffy, with a crispy onion topping that adds a nice crunch. These mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
