Fried Onion Mashed Potatoes

My Grandma used to make these :)

Fried Onion Mashed Potatoes

5 or 6 large russet potatoes, boiled and peeled
1 large sweet onion diced (about 1/4" dice)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste

In a skillet fry onions in butter until golden brown. Do not drain butter that
the onions were cooked in, you'll lose so much flavor if you do and will have to
add more butter or oil to compensate anyhow. While onions cook, mash potatoes
with milk and keep warm. When onions are done add to potatoes and mix well but
don't over beat as potatoes become pasty if you do (simple rule of thumb with
any mashed potato recipe). Depending on the consistency you like, may want to
add more milk. Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Perfect with roast beef or
roast pork :)
