Pierogi

Little parcels, boiled then fried in butter. Somebody’s grandmother is involved.

That was somebody else’s answer. Yours takes about twenty seconds: a handful of either-ors, then one dish.

How to make pierogi

One way to do it. The same ones the app hands you once you have decided.

Boiled, then fried in butter

90 minutes · serves 4 · Medium

What you need

  • 300g flour
  • 1 egg
  • 120ml warm water
  • 4 potatoes
  • 200g twaróg or ricotta
  • 2 onions
  • 80g butter
  • Salt and pepper
  • Soured cream

What you do

  1. 1Dough of flour, egg, water and salt. Knead 8 minutes, then rest it 30 — unrested dough tears when you fill it.
  2. 2Mash the potato with the cheese and a good amount of fried onion. Season it harder than seems right; the dough is bland.
  3. 3Roll thin, cut circles, fill, and seal with a dry finger. Wet edges will not hold.
  4. 4Boil until they float, then two minutes more.
  5. 5Now fry them in butter with the rest of the onion until the edges catch. Boiled alone is fine; fried is why people love them.
  6. 6Soured cream on the side.
