Ingredients

• 4 large (about 3 pounds) Russet potatoes
• 2 large Yellow onion
• 6 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 2

Bring the pot of potatoes to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, thinly slice the onions.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until the onions become golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, and milk. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use a handheld mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Mix in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and stir until melted and fully incorporated into the potatoes.

Step 7

Fold in the caramelized onions, reserving a few for garnish if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper as needed.

Step 8

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with the reserved caramelized onions and chopped parsley, if using.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
