French Onion Pommes Puree Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Place them into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot.

2. 2

   Boil the Potatoes

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

3. 3

   Cook the Onions

   While the potatoes are cooking, slice the yellow onions thinly. In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Garlic and Thyme

   Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic and fresh thyme. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

5. 5

   Combine Ingredients

   Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of butter, heavy cream, caramelized onions, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Mash the Potatoes

   Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.

7. 7

   Serve

   Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
