Lunch: Caramelized Onion & Garlic Smashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter, divided
1 large sweet onion, chopped
8 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
3 pounds red potatoes, cubed (about 8 cups)
1 cup whole milk, warmed
2 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir 8-10 minutes or until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in garlic halves, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook 25-30 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain, then shake potatoes over low heat 1 minute to dry.
Mash potatoes slightly, gradually adding milk and remaining butter. Stir in onion mixture. Top with bacon and chives.
