Serves: 5
 

Ingredients:

2 1/2 pounds baking potatoes -- peeled and cut into chunks
1 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter -- cut into small pieces at room temp
1/2 cup heavy cream -- brought to a boil
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 Cup vegetable oil
1/2 pound onions -- cut into thinly sliced rings
1/4 Cup all-purpose flour
 

Preparation:

In a saucepan, cook the potatoes in lightly salted water until tender. Drain well. Mash the potatoes through a food mill into a stainless steel bowl. Stir in the butter and warm cream and combine thoroughly. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Set over simmering water to keep warm. Meanwhile, in a deep-fat fryer or a deep, heavy saucepan, heat about 3 inches of oil. Dust the onion rings with flour and carefully drop into the heated oil. Cook until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a clean towel. Season lightly with salt. Spoon some of the mashed potatoes onto 5 or 6 warmed plates and top with a few of the browned onions. Serve immediately.
