Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold or russet potatoes
Salt to taste
1 cup coarsely chopped onions
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
Freshly ground white pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Peel the potatoes and rinse well. Cut the potatoes lengthwise in half. Cut each half into 4 pieces. There should be about 4 cups.
Put the potatoes in a saucepan with water to cover. Add salt and the onions and bring to a boil. Simmer 12 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Drain. Put the potatoes through a food mill or potato ricer and place in a saucepan.
Preheat the broiler.
Heat the milk in a saucepan.
Add the butter to the potatoes and stir with a wooden spoon until the butter is melted. Add the hot milk gradually, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add salt, pepper and the nutmeg. Blend well.
Spoon the potatoes into an oven-proof serving dish (an oval dish measuring 1 1/2 by 6 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches is suitable). Smooth the top of the potatoes with a spatula.
Sprinkle with the cheese and place under the broiler until nicely browned.
