What You’ll Need to Make Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes
- 1 3 pound bag of Trader Joe’s Gold Potatoes
- 1 container of Trader Joe’s Caramelized Onion Dip
- Milk
- Salt and pepper
- Large Pot
- Potato masher
Tips
- If you prefer “smashed” over “mashed”, leave the peels on half of the potatoes and follow the rest of the recipe.
- Be careful not to overcook your potatoes. You want a knife to easily pierce the potatoes, but you don’t want them falling apart in the water.
- Mashed potatoes can be made ahead and refrigerated. To reheat, place them in a pot and warm them gently over medium low heat, stirring frequently. You may need to add more milk to achieve the right consistency again.
- For a little extra indulgence, top your mashed potatoes with butter and extra pepper.
