Went to recipe 51649 for the roasted garlic cloves, but it took me to a recipe on how to make caramelized onions. So I did that. Glad I did, because it really made the difference with this. I had to use up some potatoes that were getting old (about 8 potatoes, of various sizes). I used 3/4 cup whole milk, then added 1 cup fat free milk after I had stirred and realized the potatoes were still too thick. It came out perfectly. I added approximately 5 tablespoons of the caramelized onions and used a hand blender to mix it all in. Didn't do roasted garlic cloves, so just added about a tablespoon of garlic powder. Tastes great - thanks!

While I love all of these main ingredients, I did not like the texture of the caramelized onions with the whipped potatoes. Instead of cutting the onions in rings, I may try dicing or chopping so that they mix into the potatoes better next time.

Wow Rita...I love fresh mashed potatoes BUT add the onions and the garlic....awesome! The combo is pure comfort food! I did the onions and garlic a day ahead then just added them as needed and I also had the milk at room temp so as not to make the potatoes starchy. Served with meatloaf, broccoli and homemade applesauce. Yummy!
