For Cooking

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack the egg into it. Gradually add water while mixing until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into quarters. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash them in a bowl.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix the sautéed onions with the mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 5

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles.

  2. 6

    Fill the Pierogi

    Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal tightly. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.

  3. 7

    Boil the Pierogi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the pierogi in batches and cook for 3-5 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  4. 8

    Pan-fry the Pierogi

    In a skillet, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the boiled pierogi and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 9

    Serve

    Serve the pierogi hot, garnished with chopped chives and a dollop of sour cream.
