Cooking Time: 10 minutesPreperation Time: 1 hour

Dough

Combine about 2 cups of all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and water (about 3/4 to 1 cup) in a large mixing bowl. Knead the mixture until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Cover and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Potato Filling

Boil 3-4 medium potatoes until tender. Mash the potatoes and mix with sautéed onions (1 large onion), salt, and pepper to taste. You can also add garlic or herbs according to your preferences.

Form and Cook

Roll the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out circles using a glass or cookie cutter. Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and seal the edges firmly. Boil the varenyky in salted water until they rise to the surface, then cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.

⭐️ Nutrition facts:

Varenyky are primarily a carbohydrate-rich dish due to both the dough and the potato filling. Depending on the ingredients for the dough and the amount of oil used for frying the onions, they can also contain moderate amounts of fat. These dumplings offer some protein, particularly if cheese is added to the potato filling.
