Ingredients

• 3 large russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 large onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 3 tablespoons sour cream
• 8 sheets phyllo dough
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes, and cook for 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

Step 3

While the potatoes cook, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Thinly slice the onion and add it to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Mash the potatoes in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in the caramelized onions, salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, thyme, and sour cream. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Step 5

Prepare the phyllo dough: Lay one sheet on a clean work surface and lightly brush with olive oil. Layer another sheet on top and brush again. Repeat until all 8 sheets are stacked and brushed with olive oil.

Step 6

Spread the potato mixture evenly along one of the longer edges of the phyllo dough, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.

Step 7

Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from the edge with the potato mixture. Tuck in the sides as you roll to seal the filling inside.

Step 8

Place the strudel seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and brush it over the top of the strudel.

Step 9

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Let the strudel cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
