Mashed Potatoes with Caramelized Onions


1 Tbls - Olive oil
1 Tbls - Butter
4 cups - Yellow onions, peeled, quartered and thinly sliced
1 tsp - Sugar
2 Lbs - Potatoes, unpeeled and scrubbed
1 tsp - Salt, to taste
1/4 tsp - Black pepper, to taste
1 1/4 cups - Low-fat milk, heated

In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over high heat until the butter is melted.
Add onions and sugar; cook, stirring often, until the onions are deeply browned, about 20 minutes.
Set aside.
Meanwhile, boil potatoes in water until very tender, 20-30 minutes.
Drain and let cool slightly.
Remove skins from the potatoes and mash.
Stir in salt, pepper and just enough hot milk to make the potatoes fluffy but not soupy.
Stir in the reserved onions and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Serve immediately.
