Stir the Dijon- caramelized onion mixture into the potatoes in the pan. They’re ready to serve!
If you are a lover of caramelized onions, you will most definitely be into these mashed potatoes. If you aren’t really an onion lover, then these might not be for you. I think they’re amazing!
They’re not so smooth and creamy like traditional mashed potatoes because of the added onions. But those onions add some pretty delicious flavor (along with the Dijon and horseradish, for sure).
These caramelized onion mashed potatoes would be fabulous served on their own with a dab of butter- alongside roasted chicken or grilled meats. They’re also fabulous served with gravy for a traditional Thanksgiving supper. Enjoy!
