Sage and Onion Mashed Potatoes
6 medium baking potatoes, peeled and cut into eighths
2 medium onions
1/2 cup water
6 Tbs olive oil or cooking oil
2 tsp snipped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon ground sage
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup buttermilk, dairy sour cream, plain yogurt, or milk
1. In a greased 3-quart casserole, combine potatoes and onions. In a 2-cup measure combine water, oil, sage, salt, and pepper; drizzle over potatoes and onions.
2. Bake, uncovered, in a 450 degree F. oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, stirring twice.
3. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Mash with a potato masher or beat with an electric mixer on low speed. Gradually beat in enough buttermilk, yogurt, sour cream, or milk to make light and fluffy.
Servings: 10
If you cut the potatoes smaller. they make excellent baked homefries as well. Don't skimp on the olive oil, and Kosher salt seems to be my favorite.
Thanks! I'll try that next time.
