Pierogi

Ingredients

• Salt and pepper - To taste
• Sour cream - 1/4 cup
• Butter - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Potatoes - 3 medium, boiled and mashed
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Egg - 1
• Water - 1/2 cup
• All - purpose flour - 2 cups

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, water, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
4. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until golden brown.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with the sautéed onions, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
7. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the dough.
8. Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each dough circle.
9. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal.
10. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pierogi in batches for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
11. Remove the cooked pierogi from the water using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate.
12. Serve the pierogi hot with sour cream or melted butter.
