Addictive Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 4 tablespoons butter, sliced
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large white onion, diced
• Salt to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons whipping cream
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• Black pepper to taste

Directions

In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer on medium-high heat until the center of the potatoes are tender when pricked with a fork, about 25 minutes. Drain, and return potatoes to pot.

Meanwhile, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions, sprinkle with salt, and cook 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are a deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Stir in brown sugar.

Pour whipping cream over the potatoes, and mash with a large fork or potato masher. Stir in sour cream, cream cheese, soy sauce, Parmesan cheese, bouillon granules, and dried parsley. Stir in caramelized onions, and season with black pepper. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth. Reheat briefly over low heat, and serve.
