1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook and stir for 15 minutes or until moisture has
evaporated and onions are completely wilted. Reduce heat to
medium-low. Cook and stir for 30-40 minutes or until onions are
caramelized. (If necessary, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if
onions begin to stick to the pan.) Meanwhile, place potatoes and
garlic in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce
heat; cover and cook for 18-22 minutes or until tender. Drain
potatoes; place in a large bowl and mash. Add the sour cream, milk,
pepper and remaining salt; mash until blended. Stir in caramelized
onions. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with butter; sprinkle
with cheese and bacon.
