My husband came up with this recipe, and it is so delicious. The sweet onions, rich cream cheese and mashed potatoes make an irresistible trio. Ingredients:
4 large potatoes, peeled and quartered |
1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt |
6 tablespoons butter, divided |
1/3 cup chopped onion |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup sour cream |
1/4 cup half-and-half cream |
2 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
dash cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water; add seasoned salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Add onion; cook until slightly softened. Sprinkle with brown sugar; cook until brown sugar is bubbly and onion is tender.
3. Drain potatoes; transfer to a large bowl. Add the sour cream, half-and-half, cream cheese, salt, pepper, cayenne and remaining butter; mash until smooth. Stir in the onion mixture. Yield: 8 servings.
