Ingredients
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces.
Step 2
Boil the sweet potato cubes in salted water over medium heat for 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain thoroughly.
Step 3
Mash the sweet potatoes in a bowl until smooth, then mix in cream cheese, butter, salt, cinnamon (if using), and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside to cool.
Step 4
To make the perogy dough, combine the flour with a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add the egg, water, and vegetable oil.
Step 5
Mix the wet ingredients into the flour gradually, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.
Step 6
After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out rounds using a 3-inch round cutter or the rim of a glass.
Step 7
Place a small spoonful of the sweet potato filling in the center of each round. Fold the dough over into a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly to seal, crimping with a fork for extra security.
Step 8
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the perogies in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
Step 9
Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately, or sauté perogies in butter for a crispy finish.
