Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and egg. Gradually add water until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until elastic. Cover with a towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Assemble the Vareniki
Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles using a round cutter or glass. Place about a tablespoon of potato filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Cook the Vareniki
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the vareniki into the boiling water in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
