Whenever I make mashed potatoes I add a shit ton of sauteed onions

    I figure, I’m gonna be adding a bunch of butter anyway, why not saute 3 diced onions in said butter?

    Had this particular batch with smoked herring & sauerkraut. Mmm. Oniony.

    the real question here is: is a “shit ton” more than, less than, or equal to an “ass load”?

    confession time! Before you judge me please look at my engagement with this sub. I LOVE onions. But my mom made mashed potatoes like this one Thanksgiving when I was a kid. Everybody loved them. My cousin called them Auntie Shel potatoes and asked for them every year. But I hated them to the point that my mom would always make a portion of mashed potatoes without them for me. (I am autistic so some food sensitivities will just really get me) I think it was just a texture thing where I want mashed potatoes to be smooth and the onions mess with that

    I do this when making fully loaded mash, but i also add crispy bacon lardons and shredded cheese (emmentaler or cheddar). I also leave the skins on about 33% of the spuds. I don’t make it very often for heart health reasons, but it’s REALLY GOOD.
