CARAMELIZED ONION & GORGONZOLA MASHED POTATOES

Caramelized Onion & Gorgonzola Mashed Potatoes image

I love this recipe! It came from Southern Living magazine and is one of my family's favorite. It takes a little bit of time to prepare and cook but is well worth the effort. Very unique taste with the gorgonzola and the sweetness of the onions. Enjoy!
