Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Saute the Onion

    While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion and sauté it in butter over medium heat until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mash the Filling

    In a large bowl, mash the cooked potatoes with the sautéed onions, salt, black pepper, and garlic (if using) until smooth. Stir in the cheddar cheese until well combined.

  4. 4

    Cool the Filling

    Allow the filling to cool completely before using it to fill pierogi.
