Ingredients
Onions
- 2 lbs yellow onions
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Potatoes
- 3.5 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup butter, cut into cubes
- 8 oz sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Prep and chop all onions into thin slices. I did half moons.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter and olive oil. Once melted, add in sliced onions and cook for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, add sugar, salt, and pepper. Onions will take about an additional 20-30 minutes to caramelize and get brown. Be sure to stir occasionally. Once onions have caramelized, turn off heat and set aside.
- While onions are cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling add in potato cubes. Bring back to a boil and cook for about 12 minutes or until fork tender. Drain.
- Add drained potatoes back to the large pot and use a potato masher or potato ricer to mash. Add in butter, sour cream, and milk and continue to mash until nice and smooth. Mix in salt and pepper.
- Pour onions and all of the buttery juice into the potatoes and stir until well combined. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
- Enjoy!
