Printer Friendly Version
Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds whole MountainKing® Petite Butter Gold Potatoes
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 small onions, thinly sliced
• 3 cups buttermilk
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon dill, roughly chopped

Directions:

1. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, and add salt. Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer; cook until fork-tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
2. While potatoes cook, heat butter and oil in a medium skillet over high heat, and add onions. Reduce heat to medium, and sauté until golden brown and slightly caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes.
3. Drain potatoes, and let cool briefly. For a decorative touch, use a paring knife to remove a band of peel from the center section of each potato. Divide potatoes between four soup bowls and pour 3/4 cup buttermilk into each bowl. Top with caramelized onions, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with dill. Serve immediately.
