How To Make russian potato casserole with caramelized onions

• 1

  Melt the 5 tablespoons butter in a large skillet or dutch oven; add the oil and heat.
• 2

  Add the onions, stir to coat and reduce the heat to low; cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they turn a deep brown color.
• 3

  Sprinkle with the sugar and continue cooking for a few more minutes - The onions will take about an hour.
• 4

  Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in enough chicken stock to cover - (Cook potatoes until slightly underdone); drain the potatoes completely, reserving the chicken stock.
• 5

  Mash the potatoes and add the butter.
• 6

  Stir the beaten eggs into one cup of the sour cream; add this to the hot potatoes, stirring quickly to distribute the egg evenly.
• 7

  Stir in the cream and the dill weed; add enough of the reserved stock to make a very loose mashed potato consistency - You do not want them to be stiff because they will dry out in the oven.
• 8

  Butter a casserole dish and add half the potatoes; spread the caramelized onions in an even layer over the potatoes.
• 9

  Carefully cover the onions with the rest of the potatoes, sealing them in; cover the top with the remaining 2 cups of sour cream.
• 10

  Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
