Dough Preparation

Start by mixing wheat flour, water, and an egg to form the dough. Knead until smooth, then let it rest for a moment.

Filling Preparation

Boil potatoes until soft, mash them, and then combine with cheese and optionally with finely chopped onions.

Assembling Pierogi

Roll out the dough thinly, cut out circles using a glass or a cutter. Place a spoonful of filling on each piece, fold over and press the edges to seal.
