Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes if desired (optional for a more rustic texture).
- Cut the potatoes into chunks for faster cooking.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and add enough water to cover them.
- Bring the pot of water with potatoes to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion.
- In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until the onions are translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Set the sautéed onions aside.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander.
- Return the potatoes to the pot or a mixing bowl.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the milk to the potatoes.
- Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer until they reach your desired consistency (smooth or slightly chunky).
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
- Gently fold the sautéed onions into the mashed potatoes until well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the mashed potatoes hot, garnished with additional green onions or Parmesan if desired.
Tips:
- Boil the potatoes until they are very tender; this will make them easier to mash and result in a smoother texture.
- Warm the milk before adding it to the mashed potatoes to keep the mixture hot and creamy.
- Use a potato masher, ricer, or even a fork to mash the potatoes, but avoid using a blender as it can make the potatoes gluey.
- Mix in the butter while the potatoes are still hot so it melts evenly into the mash.
- You can substitute the green onions with chives or scallions for a slightly different but still delicious flavor.
- For a lighter version, you can use sour cream or Greek yogurt instead of butter and milk.
There you have it – a simple yet delicious recipe for mashed potatoes with green onions and parmesan. This comforting side dish is sure to become a favorite at your dinner table.
