Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make mashed potatoes with fried onions? Prepare everything you need for this. You can take milk of any fat content. If you want a creamier taste, you can even use cream.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the potatoes and rinse thoroughly to remove dirt. Cut large tubers into 2-3 parts. Small ones can be left without cutting. Place the prepared potatoes in a cooking pot and fill with water so that they are all submerged. Place on the fire and bring to a boil. Add salt. Then turn the heat down a little and cook the potatoes until tender. This will take 15-20 minutes. Pierce the potatoes with a knife. If the potatoes are soft, then they are ready.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the onions. Peel the onion, rinse and finely chop. Heat a frying pan until hot and pour in a little vegetable oil. Add the prepared chopped onion and fry it, stirring, until golden brown, for 3-5 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   When the potatoes are cooked, drain the hot water. Add the fried onions and butter to the pan. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher.

5. STEP 5

   

   Heat the milk until hot and pour into the potatoes. Continue mashing the potatoes with a masher until smooth. Gradually the potatoes will absorb the milk. If you like your mashed potatoes thinner, you can add more milk. The consistency is based on your taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Delicious and aromatic mashed potatoes with fried onions are ready! It will be an excellent side dish for any meat or fish dish. If desired, you can sprinkle a little chopped dill or any other herbs. Divide the mashed potatoes into prepared bowls and serve! Bon appetit!

This is how I make mashed potatoes too. And mashed potatoes are also delicious with cheese.

My whole family and even guests love mashed potatoes. I prepared it for the holiday, served it in portions, sprinkled with chopped parsley. The puree went well with chicken and vegetable salads. Fried onions have a sweetish taste; they add a special flavor to boiled potatoes. Well, if you mash it with butter and milk, it’s absolutely delicious! The puree turned out tender, literally fluffy, with a creamy soft taste. A very tasty side dish.

I made mashed potatoes with fried onions and butter according to this recipe for dinner. We love these potatoes very much, and then I came across this recipe on the website. You have no idea how much my child loves fried onions) Boil the potatoes until tender in salted water. Added butter and milk, mashed the potatoes. While the potatoes were cooking, I peeled more onions, washed them and cut them into cubes. Fry the onion until golden brown in vegetable oil. Mixed mashed potatoes with butter and fried onions. How delicious the dish smelled. I served mashed potatoes with onions with baked fish for dinner. This is the perfect combination. The puree according to this recipe turned out soft, tender and very appetizing. Delicious! Great recipe! Thanks to the author 😊

Great recipe! You should get a smooth puree! I can also recommend adding finely chopped pickled cucumbers to the already prepared puree for variety (it’s better to take those with a low vinegar content, of course, for example 6 acres). Stir the cucumbers into the puree and eat. I can eat this side dish just like that - as a main course, I won’t have to drag it away by the ears!)
