The Best Mashed Potato

Serves as many as you want

Potatoes (not peeled!! – new or old)
Red onions (or any if you don’t have red) (1 medium onion for 2–4 people)
Egg (1 per 2-3 people)
Olive oil

Boil the potatoes until soft but not soggy.

Meanwhile, slice onions into half rings. Cook in olive oil quite fast until a little crispy.

Mash potatoes with raw egg. Stir in onions with their cooking oil. If too dry, add a little more oil, but not too much as the potato will become slimy.
Serve immediately with chops, sausages, whatever. For a dinner party, put the mash into an oiled serving dish (not too flat, a souffle dish would be ideal, but don’t get hung up on this), and put into a medium oven for 10 – 20 minutes until risen and golden on top. Your guests will be impressed, and only you will know how simple it is (my aunt took this recipe and used it at her guest house to popular acclaim).
