Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the potatoes until fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and mash until completely smooth, then stir in the cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let cool.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the egg and warm water, kneading until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Let it rest for 15 minutes covered with a damp towel.

  3. 3

    Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a glass or biscuit cutter to cut out 3-inch circles.

  4. 4

    Place a small spoonful of the potato and cheese filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over into a half-moon shape and pinch the edges tightly to seal.

  5. 5

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop the pierogi in batches; they are ready when they float to the surface (about 3-4 minutes).

  6. 6

    Sauté the boiled pierogi in a skillet with melted butter over medium heat until they develop a golden-brown, crispy exterior. Serve with sour cream.
