Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 large, peeled and cubed Potatoes
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, for serving Vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons, for garnish Chopped chives or green onions
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.
Add the aquafaba and water gradually while mixing to form a dough. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Drain the potatoes and mash them in a bowl. Add the dairy-free cream cheese, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
After the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
Using a round cutter or a glass, cut circles out of the dough about 3 inches in diameter.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the potato filling onto each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to make a half-moon shape and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the perogies in batches and cook until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the perogies and let them drain on a paper towel.
Optional: Heat the vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the cooked perogies until golden brown on each side for added texture.
Serve the perogies warm, garnished with chopped chives or green onions.
