Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

3 large baking potatoes, pricked several times with a fork
5 McIntosh apples, peeled, cored, cut in 1 1/2-inch chunks and tossed with 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 medium-size onion, peeled and sliced thin (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Place potatoes directly in microwave oven. Cook at 100 percent power in a high-power oven for 16 minutes.
While potatoes are cooking, combine apples and onions, if using, in a 2 1/2-quart souffle dish with a tight-fitting lid. Remove potatoes from oven. Cook apples, covered, for 8 minutes if not using onions, or 14 minutes with onions.
While apples are cooking and potatoes are still hot, use a paring knife to slip the skin from the potatoes. Pass potatoes through a food mill fitted with the medium disk.
Remove dish from oven and uncover. Pass apples through the food mill into the potatoes. Using a fork, combine the potatoes and apples until mixture is smooth. Stir in salt and pepper with the fork.
Place mixture in 2 1/2-quart souffle dish. Cook, covered, for 5 minutes to heat.
