Ingredients
    For the Dough:

    • For Cooking:
  • Butter for sautéing
  • Optional garnish: sour cream, parsley, or chives
Instructions
  1. 1
    In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add egg, sour cream, and melted butter. Mix until the dough comes together, then knead for 3–5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. 2
    Prepare the filling by mashing boiled potatoes, then mixing with cheddar cheese and sautéed onion. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. 3
    Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut circles with a round cutter or glass.
  4. 4
    Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle, fold over, and seal edges tightly.
  5. 5
    Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add pierogi in batches and cook until they float to the top (3–4 minutes).
  6. 6
    Remove with a slotted spoon, then sauté in a skillet with butter until golden and lightly crispy.
  7. 7
    Serve warm with sour cream, caramelized onions, or fresh herbs.
