Ingredients
- 12 oz Egg noodles
- 4 large Potatoes
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and quarter the potatoes, then place them in a pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 2
While the potatoes are cooking, bring another pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
Slice the onion thinly. Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are done, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, mashed potatoes, and caramelized onions. Gently toss to coat the noodles in the potato mixture.
Step 6
Serve warm as a comforting main dish or side. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or sour cream for extra flavor.
