6 medium russet potatoes |
2 1/2 tablespoons butter |
1/4 minced onion |
3 tablespoons fat-free chicken broth or 3 tablespoons vegetable broth |
1/2 teaspoon salt, more to taste |
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper, more to taste |
seasoning (optional) or chives (optional) or red pepper flakes, to taste (optional) |
6 sheets phyllo dough |
