Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil for sautéing the onions
- 2 large White Onions sliced thinly
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt to enhance flavors
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes peeled and quartered
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter for richness and smoothness

Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients, ensuring everything is fresh and ready to use.
- Peel and quarter the Yukon gold potatoes, placing them into a large pot of cold water.
- Slice the onions thinly; this will help them caramelize evenly for a better flavor.
Cooking
- Begin boiling the potatoes in the pot over medium-high heat. Cook until fork-tender, roughly 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, adding the sliced onions and 2 teaspoons of sea salt.
- Stir occasionally, allowing the onions to caramelize slowly, about 15–20 minutes until golden brown.
- Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add unsalted butter and blended cottage cheese, then mash until creamy. Fold in the caramelized onions, combining thoroughly.
Serving
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and ground black pepper if needed.
- Consider sprinkling additional caramelized onions on top for a gourmet touch.
- Serve hot, enjoying every creamy bite!
