Ingredients

2 lb russet potatoes, peeled and boiled
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 eggs
0.5 tsp salt
4 tbsp butter
1 large onions, thinly sliced
0.5 cup sour cream
2 tsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1

Boil 2 lb peeled and boiled russet potatoes until fork-tender, then drain and pass through a potato ricer or mash until very smooth.
2

Mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 eggs, and 0.5 tsp salt into the mashed potatoes. Knead gently until dough just comes together.
3

Divide dough into pieces and roll into rope shapes about 0.5 inch thick.
4

Cut rope into 1-inch pieces and press each piece gently with the tines of a fork to create a ridged shape resembling a small hoof.
5

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in batches, carefully drop kopytka into the water.
6

Stir gently and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until they float to the surface and stay there for 30 seconds.
7

Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving dish.
8

Meanwhile, melt 4 tbsp butter in a skillet and add 1 large thinly sliced onions. Cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized.
9

Toss kopytka with caramelized onions and butter. Top with 0.5 cup sour cream and 2 tsp chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
