How to cook deliciously - French Onion Mashed Potatoes

1 . Stage

Make mashed potatoes: In a large pot of salted boiling water over medium heat, boil Clover Valley® Sliced Potatoes until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and mash slightly.

2 . Stage

In a medium heat-proof bowl, microwave butter, half-and-half, and milk until almost scalded, about 2 minutes, checking every 30 seconds. Add milk mixture to potatoes and continue to mash until smooth. Add Gruyère and stir until melted, then add more salt and pepper to taste.

3 . Stage

Make caramelized onions: In a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat, heat the onions and 1 cup of the broth until simmering. Continue cooking until very little liquid remains, about 10 minutes 

4 . Stage

Once onions have cooked down, add butter to the skillet and sauté, stirring frequently, until butter has browned. Stir in the thyme and flour, then add remaining ½ cup of broth and stir to combine.

5 . Stage

Serve mashed potatoes with a spoonful of onions on top, and garnish with more fresh thyme leaves.
