Caramelized shallot mashed potatoes - Traditional with a twist

mashed potatoes

Any traditional Thanksgiving meal must have mashed potatoes, but that doesn't mean you have to go with the plain butter variety, or even garlic. What about this recipe, courtesy of Bon Appetit and Epicurious? If you want something a little less rich, I suggest the Chive and Parsley Mashed Potatoes -- light and delicious.

Caramelized-Shallot Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

6 tbsp of butter, divided
2 cups sliced shallots
3/4 cup whole milk
2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes -- peeled and quartered

  • Melt 2 tbsp of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until tender and brown, stirring often. (Approx. 20 minutes) Transfer the shallots to a bowl, add milk to skillet, and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, bring the potatoes to a boil, then let simmer until tender. Drain them and then stir over medium heat until dry.
  • Add remaining butter to potatoes while bringing milk to a simmer in the skillet. Scrap any browned bits and add the milk to the potatoes. Mash, stir in shallots, and season with salt and pepper.
