Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes. They are a new favorite for Thanksgiving. Well, not everyone’s favorite. Of all the pickiness of my children, the one that really baffles me is their dislike for potatoes. Particularly mashed potatoes.
Both my husband and I remember that being one of the best parts of holidays when we were kids. Whatever weird salads our moms would add to the menu, we knew there was going to be mashed potatoes and gravy, so everything was great!
And all three of our kids don’t like them at all. They never have and I’m really worried they never will. Because that would just be really sad for them.
So, because we didn’t have to worry about their sensitive taste buds, this year we decided to try something new that we would like. Garlic mashed potatoes are great, so I thought, why not caramelized onions?
They turned out great and of course were creamy and delicious and filled with flavor. So, if you like caramelized onions you should definitely give these potatoes a try!
