Dough Preparation

Start by combining 200 grams of flour with a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk an egg with about 1/2 cup of water. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour, kneading until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

For the filling, boil approximately 150 grams of potatoes until tender. Mash the potatoes and mix with around 50 grams of cheese (optional), finely chopped onions, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust the quantity as needed for desired consistency and flavor.

Forming and Cooking Pierogis

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until thin. Cut out rounds using a glass or cookie cutter. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each round, fold over, and press the edges to seal. Boil the pierogis in salted water for about 5 minutes or until they float to the surface. For a crispy exterior, fry the boiled pierogis in a skillet with a bit of oil until golden brown. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream.

⭐️ Nutrition facts:

Pierogi are a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy through their dough and potato-based filling. They also offer moderate amounts of protein, particularly if filled with cheese. When enjoyed in moderation, pierogis can be a part of a balanced diet. However, frying them can increase fat content, so boiling or baking might be healthier preparation methods.
