Nothing says savory home cooking like the aroma of onions cooking on the stove. I love caramelized onions on everything! In chopped liver, in omelets, on chicken and, of course, in mashed potatoes.
You don’t have to make caramelized onions on the stove, we have 4 methods to make your own caramelized onions. Make a big batch and they will become your secret weapon in the kitchen for unbelievable dishes.

Recommendation for potatoes in Israel since Yukon’s cannot be found here? Thanks!
Any potatoes will work well for this here not sure I have felt one is better for mashed
This looks great I want to use it for my Passover dinner, will russet potatoes work? I have russets in my pantry.
