Tips:
- To save time, use a food processor to mash the potatoes. Just be careful not to over-process them, or they will become gluey.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the potatoes by hand with a potato masher or a fork. Just be sure to mash them until they are smooth and creamy.
- For the best flavor, use Yukon Gold potatoes. They have a buttery, creamy texture that is perfect for mashed potatoes.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- To make sure the mashed potatoes are creamy, add milk or cream a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- For extra flavor, add some grated Parmesan cheese or chopped fresh herbs to the mashed potatoes.
- To make the caramelized onions, be sure to cook them over low heat for a long period of time. This will allow them to develop a deep, rich flavor.
- If you don't have time to caramelize the onions, you can use store-bought caramelized onions.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, topped with the caramelized onions and some chopped fresh parsley.
