Golden Onion & Sage Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
4 large sweet potatoes
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp olive oil
5 Tbsp butter, divided
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
2 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp chopped fresh sage
Preheat oven to 375. Pierce potatoes 2 or 3 times with a fork; rub with vegetable oil and place on foil-lined baking sheet. Bake 40 minutes to 1 hour or until tender, turning once after 30 minutes. Remove and let cool 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large skillet heat olive oil and 2 Tbsp of the butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring constantly, 10 minutes or until onion begins to soften. Add sugar, and salt and pepper to taste; continue stirring 10 minutes more or until the onions are soft and golden brown. If onion starts to stick to pan, reduce heat and stir in 2 Tbsp water. Set aside.
While potatoes are still warm, but cool enough to handle, cut in half and scoop out potato into medium bowl. Mash until smooth. Add sage, remaining 3 Tbsp butter, and salt and pepper to taste. Mash until mixed.
Spoon potato mixture into serving bowl and top with onions. Serve warm.

Next time I'd skip the onions. They didn't really add much.
