Ingredients:
Ingredients for Potato Mushroom Pie
3 cups prepared mashed Idaho potatoes
1 cup button mushrooms (stems intact), sliced 1/3 inch thick
1/2 cup portobello mushrooms, cut 1/3 inch thick
1/3 cup white onion, grated
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 to 3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup + 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
To taste salt and pepper
Ingredients for Caramelized Onions
1 large sweet yellow onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
Splash dry white wine
To taste salt and pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Saute mushrooms and onion in butter. Stir in lemon juice and salt and pepper. Place 1/2 the prepared potatoes in a buttered casserole dish, top with 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, the entire mushroom mixture, the sour cream, and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, in that order. Cover with remaining potatoes. Bake 35 to 45 minutes. While the pie is baking, prepare caramelized onions.
Caramelized Onions:
Peel and slice onion. Place onions with olive oil into a heavy duty saucepan, cover and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes, (or until softened). Toss often while cooking. Sprinkle onions with sugar and wine and saute until onions are caramelized, as desired. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with Potato & Mushroom Pie.
