These Orange Mashed Potatoes are divine. I used fresh oranges off our tree. It sounds a bit strange, but the are really good!
Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 30 mins
Yields: 6 Servings
Ingredients
3 pounds baking potatoes
2 cups finely chopped onions
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1⁄2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
3⁄4 cup orange juice
salt, to taste
grated orange zest, for garnish
Directions
1Peel and quarter the potatoes and drop them into a large pot of cold salted water. Bring to a moderate boil and cook until the potatoes are very tender, 30 minutes or so.
2Meanwhile, in another pan, cook the onions in the butter, covered, over medium-low heat until very tender and lightly colored, about 25 minutes.
3Drain and mash the potatoes and stir in the butter and onions. Stir in the crème fraîche, orange juice and salt and beat the potatoes with a wire whisk until fluffy. Garnish with orange zest.
