Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for filling)
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for sautéing)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the egg, sour cream, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-8 minutes until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the potato filling. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cubed potatoes until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes until smooth.
Stir in the cheddar cheese and butter into the mashed potatoes while still warm. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set the filling aside to cool.
Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 3-inch round cutter (or a glass) to cut out circles of dough.
Place a heaping teaspoon of the potato filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges tightly to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in batches, add the pierogies to the boiling water. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until golden and soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the boiled pierogies to the skillet with the onions and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned and crispy.
Serve the pierogies hot with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
