Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt divided
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons Caramelized Onion Infused Olive Oil
  • 1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup whole milk warmed
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives optional

Equipment

  • 1 Large pot For boiling the potatoes
  • 1 Skillet For caramelizing the onions
  • 1 potato masher For a rustic texture
  • 1 mixing spoon For folding everything together
  • 1 Serving bowl For the finished mash

Method
 

Instructions
  1. 1. Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water by 1 inch, and add 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt.
  2. 2. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 to 18 minutes.
  3. 3. While the potatoes cook, melt the butter with the Caramelized Onion Infused Olive Oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. 4. Add the sliced onion, remaining salt, and sugar, then cook slowly, stirring often, until the onions turn deeply golden and soft, about 12 to 15 minutes.
  5. 5. Drain the potatoes well and return them to the hot pot for 1 minute to let extra moisture steam off.
  6. 6. Mash the potatoes until mostly smooth, then add the warmed milk and sour cream and stir until creamy.
  7. 7. Fold in the caramelized onions and black pepper, then taste and adjust with a little more salt if needed.
  8. 8. Spoon into a serving bowl and finish with chives if you want a fresh green garnish.

Notes

The blend adds savory onion depth, so the recipe keeps the onion flavor layered rather than sharp. For the smoothest result, use warm milk and avoid overmixing after the sour cream goes in.
