How to Make Homemade Potato And Cheese Pierogies Old Fashioned Perogies
- **Prepare the Potato Filling:** Boil cubed potatoes until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain well and mash thoroughly.
- **Sauté Onion:** Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- **Combine Filling Ingredients:** In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, sautéed onions, farmer's cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined. Adjust seasoning to taste. The filling should be thick enough to hold its shape.
- **Make the Dough:** In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add egg, oil, and warm water. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- **Knead the Dough:** Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Avoid over-kneading.
- **Rest the Dough:** Divide the dough in half, form into balls, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for at least 15 minutes.
- **Roll and Cut the Dough:** On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough half thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). Use a 3-inch cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles.
- **Assemble the Pierogies:** Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative finish.
- **Boil the Pierogies:** Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully drop pierogies into the boiling water in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- **Cook the Pierogies:** Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until pierogies float to the surface and are cooked through.
- **Drain and Serve:** Remove pierogies with a slotted spoon and drain well. Transfer to a serving dish, toss gently with 2 tablespoons melted butter to prevent sticking.
- **Garnish and Serve:** Garnish with crumbled bacon and/or sauteed onions in butter (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
