| 2 кг | potatoes |
| 40 г | dried saffron milk cap mushrooms (челадинки) |
| 40 г | dried porcini mushrooms |
| 300 г | red onion, sliced into half-moons |
| 50 г | butter |

Instructions
Boil the potatoes and peel them while still warm. Pour hot water over the porcini and saffron milk cap mushrooms. Remove the stems of the saffron milk caps. Sauté the onion in the butter for about 30 minutes over medium heat, until it caramelizes. Add the mushrooms and the strained water they were soaked in and cook until the liquid evaporates. Mash the potatoes, add the mixture with the saffron milk caps, the cheese and the dill, and season with salt and pepper. Spread out one sheet of phyllo, brush it with melted butter, place the filling in the middle and roll it up. Brush with beaten egg and bake in an oven preheated to 175 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.
