Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large russet potatoes (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 12 oz smoked kielbasa (sliced)
- 1 medium onion (sautéed)
- Sour cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix flour and salt; create a well in the center. Gradually add egg and water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead lightly until smooth.
- Make the Filling: Boil peeled potatoes until fork-tender; drain and mash them. Mix in cheese, salt, and pepper until creamy.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Shape the Pierogies: Cut circles from the dough; place a spoonful of filling on each circle, fold over, and seal edges.
- Cook Kielbasa: Sauté sliced kielbasa in a skillet over medium heat until browned.
- Boil Pierogies: In salted boiling water, cook pierogies until they float (about 3-4 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
- Sauté Together: In the skillet with kielbasa, add boiled pierogies and sauté until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve hot topped with sautéed onions and sour cream.
