Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
  • 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry or dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (Optional)

    • Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, caramelize the onions. Heat olive oil and 2 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes, or until they are deeply golden brown and caramelized.
  • Add the beef broth and dry sherry (or white wine) to the skillet with the onions. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato ricer or hand mixer. Add the remaining 2 tbsp of butter and heavy cream, and mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in the caramelized onions, Gruyere cheese, and fresh thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
