Ingredients

• 2 medium Yellow onions
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Coarse grain mustard
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until the onions become golden brown and caramelized. Lower the heat if needed to prevent burning. Once caramelized, remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

While the onions are cooking, peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Add the potatoes to a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-18 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to release excess steam.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, warm the heavy cream and milk over low heat. Do not boil.

Step 6

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer, gradually adding the softened butter, warm cream, and milk mixture. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Stir in the caramelized onions, coarse grain mustard, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and serve warm. Enjoy with your favorite main courses!
