This is Super

My mom always had these at Thanksgiving and for Christmas. I still remember her standing in the kitchen peeling those little onions. This became my job after I was old enough. It was worth every tear shed!!! It seemed there was never enough and it was always the first leftover used up! Super over mashed potatoes... makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Bad breath??? Not a bit. When you boil onions they don't do that anymore!

family favorite

We've had to double this recipe so that we quit vying for the leftovers. To make this really decadent, subsitute half nad half for the milk. Top with paprika for festive look!
