Mashed Potatoes with Caramelized Shallots

Directions

1. Put the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a simmer over medium-heat and cook, uncovered, until tender, about 30 minutes.

2. While the potatoes are cooking sauté the shallots in olive oil until caramelized and nicely browned.

3. Drain the potatoes and add the butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste; mash with a potato masher or fork. Spoon the potatoes into a serving dish and top with the caramelized shallots.
