Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes







The Joy of Kosher site is a source of a plethora of recipes for the holidays as well as the weekdays.  While it is a kosher site, these recipes can be enjoyed by everyone.  Actually, when I visit the site, I get lost in it.  There is so much going on, including the recipes, that I hop around from one thing to another.  I, usually end up with the recipes and this time, I came across these caramelized onion mashed potatoes.


Two of my favorite foods, mashed potatoes and caramelized onions.  My guess is that these two are favorites for many of you.  I will go as far as saying, many of you probably consider this, a comfort food.  I certainly do.


Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes (Adapted)

Ingredients:

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice (I got the nicest Yukon Gold potatoes at Costco.)
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 medium onions, diced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup chicken soup
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder

Method:

In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 18 to 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.  Remove from pot and drain in a colander.

While potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions and 1 teaspoon salt and sauté for 10 to 12 minutes or until softened and browned, stirring constantly.

Mash potatoes until slightly bumpy.  Add onions and mix into mashed potatoes.
Stir in broth, garlic powder, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and ¼ teaspoon salt.

Serve immediately or cover to keep warm.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Image
Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
