Baked Potato Mashed Potatoes

---

This is a recipe for french onion mashed potatoes, in which i, again, added my own twist. The trick to this is to keep everything hot throughout the entire process.

---

Steps

---

Peel the potatoes & cut them into halves or quarters , depending on size.

---

Put in a large pot of water with a pinch of salt.

---

Bring to a boil , then cook approximately 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

---

In small pan , heat the milk & 4 tablespoons of the butter.

---

Cook until melted & warm.

---

In separate pan , saut the onions in remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until caramelized to a golden brown.

---

Add the sherry to the pan & saut another 2 minutes until liquid evaporates.

---

Drain potatoes.

---

Add the milk / butter mixture & start mashing.

---

Season with salt & pepper , then add onions.

---

Fold in the cheese.

---

Remove from the heat.

---

I recommend dishing up single servings & adding the remaining ingredients to those.

---

You may also exclude the last 3 ingredients and simply top with gravy.
