Onion mashed potatoes are full-flavored and easy to make. They're a perfect side dish for a holiday dinner.

Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup warm milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Minced fresh parsley, optional

Directions

Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook until very tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over low heat, cook onion and sugar in butter until golden, stirring frequently. Drain and mash the potatoes. Add milk, salt and pepper. Stir in onion mixture. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Instead of having the same mashed potatoes, spice up your mashed potatoes with onions. They are so easy to make and compliment any main dish.—Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon
