Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg and water. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    Boil the potatoes until tender, then mash them with cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. In a skillet, sauté chopped onions in butter until golden brown, then mix into the potato mixture. Allow to cool.

Assembling Pierogi

  1. 3

    Form the Pierogi

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, fold over, and pinch the edges to seal.

Cooking Pierogi

  1. 4

    Cook the Pierogi

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pierogi in batches for about 5-7 minutes or until they float to the top. For fried pierogi, heat butter in a skillet and pan-fry the boiled pierogi until golden brown.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Serve the pierogi topped with sautéed onions and a dollop of sour cream, garnished with fresh parsley.
