Crispy Kopytka with Caramelized Onions

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb russet potatoes
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 whole egg
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

1. 1

   Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, ~15 minutes. Drain and cool slightly, then rice through a ricer or mash until smooth.

2. 2

   Mix mashed potato with flour, egg, and a pinch of salt until a soft dough forms. Divide into 4 portions and roll each into a long rope.

3. 3

   Cut ropes into 1-inch pieces and press each with a fork to create the ridged kopytka shape. Boil in salted water until they float plus 2 minutes.

4. 4

   While kopytka boil, slice onion thin and cook in 1.5 tbsp butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, ~10 minutes.

5. 5

   Drain kopytka. Heat remaining 1.5 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming, then add kopytka in a single layer.

6. 6

   Cook without stirring for 3 minutes until edges brown and crisp. Toss gently, then pour caramelized onions and dill over top and serve.
