Preparation Steps
1
Peel the potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces, and place them in a pot. Cover with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, slice the onions into half-moons and finely chop the garlic.
3
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and caramelized. Set aside.
4
In the same skillet, heat another 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the chicken liver and sear on all sides over high heat for 5-6 minutes. Do not overcook, or it will become dry.
5
Add the minced garlic clove, a pinch of salt, and pepper to the chicken liver. Stir to combine, then add the caramelized onions and sauté for another 2 minutes.
6
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, and chopped parsley. Mash with a potato masher until you achieve a rustic, chunky consistency.
7
Serve the chicken liver with onion over the mashed potatoes. Garnish with a little fresh parsley, if desired.
