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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until golden and soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Serve the pierogies hot with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
