Step #2 In a small bowl mix together sour cream, dill & salt until well mixed & put in refrigerator.
Step #3 Heat butter in large skillet over medium low heat.
Step #4 Add onions to pan, then sprinkle with brown sugar, stirring every once in awhile until onions are softened, & continue cooking, stirring until onions are tender & golden brown.
Step #5 If onions are cooking too fast, reduce heat to low.
Step #6 Remove to a bowl to cool.
Step #7 While onions are cooking, grate potatoes.
Step #8 Squeeze potatoes in paper towels to release as much liquid as possible.
Step #9 Place potatoes in medium bowl & stir in the egg, salt, flour, fennel seed, pepper & baking powder until well mixed.
