Method

  1. Make the dough: In a bowl, mix flour, eggs, milk, and salt. Knead until smooth, cover, and let rest 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling: Boil potatoes until tender, mash. In a pan, sauté onion, add mashed potatoes, cheese, butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Cook 5 minutes.
  3. Shape the pierogi: Roll out dough, cut into circles. Place filling in the center, fold, and seal edges.
  4. Cook: Boil pierogi 3-4 minutes until they float. Pan-fry in butter until golden brown.
  5. Serve: Top with fried onions and sour cream.
