Richard, I made your Russian potatoes this week. We'll be ordering them again for sure.

And next time with a Lipitor chaser.

Sauteed a beef tenderloin and made a very successful remoulade for it. Minted, pancetta peas, and it was a great meal.

Rémoulade

1 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup grainy mustard

1/4 cup chopped scallion

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 1/2 teaspoons drained bottled horseradish

1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon hot sauce such as Tabasco

2 T. Chopped capers

Russian Potato Casserole with Caramelized Onions

6 large sweet onions, diced or sliced thinly

5 Tbs. butter

4 Tbs. olive oil

1 Tbs. sugar

+ 4 lbs. russet potatoes

chicken stock

1 stick butter

1 cup whipping cream

1 cup sour cream

4 eggs, beaten

1 tsp dried dill weed

2 cups sour cream

Caramelize onions in fat, stirring occasionally. When deep brown, add sugar, saute a few minutes more. This will take about an hour.

Boil potatoes in stock, till slightly overdone. Drain, reserve stock. Mash, add butter.

Add eggs to first cup of sour cream. Add this to potatoes, stirring quickly to distribute egg evenly as it cooks in the hot potatoes. Add cream and dill. Add enough stock to make potatoes rather loose, they will dry out in oven.

Layer potatoes and onion in buttered dish:

½ potatoes

onions

½ potatoes, sealing in onions

2 cups sour cream

Bake at 350F for 30-35 min, till top is lightly browned.

(I did extra onions. Good)

 
Marg that sounds wonderfull...

I always serve peas with these potatoes and a favorite "side" is bacon-wrapped grilled beef tenderloin with a sinful bearnaise. Mmmmmmm.

Oh, something I've been doing for awhile and haven't mentioned. When the onions are nearly done, I'm adding 1 head of garlic, finely minced. An addition that was begging me to be added.

 
I made your potatoes 4 my family at Xmas 2007 & still remember how everyone ooh'ed & ahh'ed over

them. This garlic addition sounds like a keeper! I'm putting your note about that with my original recipe from you. Thanks again, and Again and AGAIN!
