• 1 white onion, sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoon melted butter, plus 2 tablespoons butter

2. Place the red potatoes in a pot of water and boil until tender.
3. Drain and set aside.
4. Take 2 potatoes from the pile, cut them into quarters and place them on a cookie sheet.
5. With a fork smash them down until flat, brush them with a little bit of the melted butter, and cook in a warm oven until crispy and golden brown.
6. Set aside to top the finished potatoes.
7. Saute the onions in the olive oil until the onions are translucent.
8. Place the roasted garlic, boiled potatoes, 2 tablespoons butter, and sour cream into a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, and beat until thoroughly blended.

10. Drizzle with the remaining melted butter and place in the oven until the top is browned.
