Chardonnay Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

• ¾ c. unsalted butter 
• 2 lg. sweet onions, thinly sliced lengthwise 
• ¼ c. Chardonnay 
• 6 lg. russet potatoes, peeled and quartered (4 lbs) 
• ½ to ¾ c. half and half 
• 1 tsp. salt plus more for cooking potatoes 

Directions:

Place potatoes in large pot and cover with cold water. Bring water to boil and add 2 tsp salt to water. Cook potatoes  until tender. Place ½ c. butter and ½ c. half and half in the bottom of a large bowl. Press the potatoes through a ricer into the bowl. Stir well, seasoning with salt and adding more cream if necessary, but don’t make too soft of a mash.

While potatoes are cooking, melt remaining ¼ c. butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the  onions and cook until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the wine and cook until very tender, about 10 minutes longer. (they will be quite dark and caramelized)  Toss hot onions into the potatoes. Enjoy!
