3 cups chopped candy onions
5 tablespoons butter
4 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp (or a pinch) nutmeg
1/2 cup grated Emmentaler cheese
1/2 cup plain panko bread crumbs
Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add onions, and cook covered over medium high heat for about 20 minutes, or until soft, stirring frequently. If onions begin to stick to the bottom of the pan, add milk 1 tbsp at a time.
Preheat broiler.
Add salt, nutmeg, and remaining milk to onions, and continue to cook until onions are very soft and creamy, but there is no liquid left in the bottom of the pan. Transfer mixture to casserole dish. Top with grated Emmentaler and panko. Place under the broiler until golden brown, probably not more than 5 minutes (but this varies with each oven).
Serve hot.

Makes 12
Recipe by Greg Atkinson
Ingredients:
Dough
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3 large eggs
4 1/2 cups (or more) unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
3 1/4-ounce envelopes active dry yeast (scant 2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons sugar
Filling
2 cups (packed) golden brown sugar
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons unbleached all purpose flour
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1 cup chopped pecans
Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
8 oz. (1 package) cream cheese
1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean seeds
1/8 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Preparation:
Dough
Combine potatoes, 2 cups water, and 1 tablespoon coarse salt in large saucepan. Boil until potatoes are very tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Mash potatoes with water in pan (do not drain water). Add butter and mash until butter is melted. Whisk in eggs, then 1 cup flour; mash until very smooth. Let potatoes stand until barely lukewarm, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour 1/2 cup warm water into large bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment; stir in yeast and sugar. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add potato mixture to yeast mixture; mix on low speed until well blended, 2 minutes. Mix in 3 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, beating well. Beat until sticky dough forms.
Spread 1/2 cup flour on work surface. Scrape dough out onto floured work surface. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic, adding more flour by tablespoonfuls if dough is very sticky, about 8 minutes.
Coat large bowl with butter. Transfer dough to bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then kitchen towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, make filling.
Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour in medium bowl. Using fork, mix in butter.
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Sprinkle the pecans and about 1/4 of the filling mixture over the bottom of the pan.
Turn dough out onto well-floured work surface. Roll out dough to 24x16-inch rectangle. Sprinkle filling evenly over dough. Starting at 1 long side, roll up dough jelly-roll style, enclosing filling. Using thick sewing thread, cut roll crosswise into 12 pieces, by sliding the thread under the bottom, then pulling both ends together to cinch the thread through the dough. Transfer rolls to baking sheet, spacing rolls about 3/4 inch apart. Cover baking sheet loosely with damp towel or plastic wrap. Let rise in warm draft-free area until almost doubled in volume, about 20 minutes (rolls will be very puffy).
Bake cinnamon rolls until golden, about 20 minutes. Check on them part way through baking to be sure the tops are not getting too brown. If they are, cover the rolls with aluminum foil.
Cool rolls 10 minutes on baking sheet.
Meanwhile, make glaze.
Beat butter and cream cheese with electric mixer until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla bean, and salt, and beat until smooth. If glaze is too thick to spread, add milk by 1/2 teaspoonfuls as needed. Spread glaze over warm rolls.
