Serves: 2, Difficulty: Expert

Preparation Time: 60 minutes, Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 60 ml water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 150 grams potatoes
• 100 grams farmer’s cheese
• 1 onion
• 30 grams butter
• 60 ml sour cream
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives

Method

• Start by creating the dough: mix all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center, adding the egg and water. Knead until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
• Peel and boil potatoes until tender. Mash them and mix with farmer’s cheese.
• Dice the onion and sauté in butter until golden. Add to the potato and cheese mixture with pepper and salt.
• Roll the dough to 2mm thickness and cut 8cm circles. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each and fold, pinching the edges.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, cook the pierogi until they float.
• Serve with a topping of sour cream and a garnish of chopped chives.

Tips

• For a golden touch, sauté the pierogi in butter after boiling for a crispy texture.
• Ensure the dough edges are well-sealed to prevent filling from escaping during boiling.
