Herbed Mashed Potatoes With Roquefort Recipes

MASHED POTATOES WITH GOLDEN ONIONS AND ROQUEFORT

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan of cold salted water. Bring water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Warm milk in a small saucepan. Drain potatoes, and return to the pan. Add warm milk, butter, salt, and pepper.
• Mash the mixture with a potato masher until all the liquid is incorporated and the butter has melted. Transfer mixture to a metal mixing bowl. Cover with aluminum foil; set over double boiler to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add onions, and saute stirring often, until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Adjust the seasoning of potatoes with salt and pepper, if desired. Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Spoon the onions over the potatoes, and crumble Roquefort cheese over the top. Serve immediately.
