Always love mashed potatoes. This old recipe is adapted from the "Virginia Housewife" by Mary Randolph, 1860.. The onions add so much to the potatoes.

6 medium potatoes
2/3 cup milk
6 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup onions

Peel the potatoes and cut in half and place in saucepan. Add water and cover them. Boil them until tender. Drain. Add 1/2 the milk and 5 tablespoons of butter. Rub through a colander or use potato masher to remove lumps. Add the remaining milk, salt, and pepper and stir with spoon. Mix 1/2 cup chopped onions that have been sautéed in butter into the potatoes just before serving.

This is a favorite side dish of mine.
