Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Vegan cheese shreds
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
Instructions
Peel and cube the potatoes. Boil in a pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return to the pot. Add nutritional yeast, vegan butter, onion powder, garlic powder, vegan cheese shreds, and black pepper. Mash until smooth.
Roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out circles.
Place a spoonful of potato filling onto each dough circle. Fold in half and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook perogies in batches for 3-4 minutes or until they float.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Fry boiled perogies in the skillet until golden brown on both sides.
Garnish with chopped chives and serve warm.
