    Watch how to make pierogis, the outrageously tasty Polish dumplings filled with cheesy, creamy mashed potatoes served with a onion butter sauce. They are even more delicious than they sound!
    Excellent weekend project - eat some today and freeze some for later. They cook from frozen!
    Pierogi Ruskies - Polish dumplings
    FILLING:
    500g / 1lb potato, peeled sliced 1cm/ 1/2” thick
    30g/2tbsp butter
    1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar (or tasty, Colby, Gruyère) OR quark (if you can get your hands on this traditional cheese)
    1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper
    Boil potatoes with 1 tbsp salt until soft. Mash with remaining ingredients. Spread on try/plate, cover with cling wrap touching then fully cook before use.
    DOUGH:
    Mix 2 cups (300g) plain flour + 1 tsp cooking/kosher salt. Melt 50g/3 tbsp butter in 1/2 cup water. Make well in flour, pour in and add 1 whisked egg. Mix, turn out, knead in floured work surface 5 min or until smooth. Cling wrap, rest 30 min. Roll out 3mm/ 1/8” thick. Cut out 7.5cm/3” rounds.
    WRAP: Put 1 tbsp filling on round, brush edge with water and fold over to seal, pinching firmly.
    COOK:
    1. Sauté 1 chopped onion with 30g/2 tbsp butter 10 min until golden, remove into bowl.
    2. Bring large pot of water to boil with 1 tbsp salt. Boil 10 pierogis for 5 min or until they float. Scoop out mugful of water, then scoop out pierogi.
    3. Melt 25g/1.5 tbsp butter in skillet. Add pierogi, 1/3 onion butter and 2 tbsp cooking water, toss 1 min until coated. Serve with dollop of sour cream, sprinkled with parsley! (These quantities are to cook 10 Pierogi at a time, don’t try to boil more at the same time, they need room to bounce around in water!)
    COOKING MORE: boil pierogi in batches of 10, then reheat them for 30 sec before tossing in very large skillet or pot with the melted butter. FREEZE uncooked Pierogi and cook from frozen!

    It's nice to see that you make a Polish classic like: Russian dumplings( Pierogi Ruskie not from Russia 😉 ). probably the most popular and liked dumplings except dumplings with meat. As a Polish woman, I will tell you the secret to a real, delicious stuffing for dumplings: boiled, beaten, cooled potatoes, fatty white cheese (farmer cheese or cottage cheese), the proportions can be half and half. fried onion, a pinch of dried mint for better digestion and, of course, salt and pepper. great taste I recommend Nagi. greetings from Ireland 💚😗

      I tried making pierogis a few months back because I was fascinated by the simple yet delicious-looking dish. I added some homemade cottage cheese, which we call 'chhana' in Bengali and fried onions, just as you suggested here. White onions are not readily available here. So I had to use red onions. It was one of the best and most satisfying meals I have ever had compared to the effort I had to put In. :)

      Nagi I love most your recipes but cheddar cheese is just wrong. It's also not quark (which is basically strained yoghurt). Pendle cheese factory in too gabbie makes farm style cottage cheese - which is fairly firm/dry - it's perfect. Using an aged cheese like cheddar is just wrong.

      @@toochaotic7752 yeah, I guess nothing wrong with adding more flavor. Back in the 70's the real hard cheese was a delicacy here, so those pierogis are basically made from the most available indigrients back then. Quark, flour and potatos.
