Mashed Potatoes with Mushrooms and Onions

1. 1

   Boil the potatoes in a pot with salted water to cover until soft, at least 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, put 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   When its foam subsides, add the onion and mushrooms, along with a large pinch of salt and a sprinkling of pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Both onion and mushrooms should become a little crispy on the edges.

5. 5

   When the potatoes are done, drain them, then mash them well or put them through a food mill.

6. 6

   Return them to the pot over the lowest possible heat and stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, along with the sour cream.

7. 7

   Stir in the onion and mushrooms, along with any butter remaining in that pan.

8. 8

   Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or sour cream as necessary.

9. 9

   Serve immediately, keep warm, or reheat in a microwave.
