Crispy Pan-Fried Homemade Pierogi
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Add 1 large egg, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1/4 cup softened butter to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup diced onion, 2 cups mashed potatoes, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into circles using a cookie cutter or a glass.
- Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal, creating a half-moon shape.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the pierogi to the skillet in batches, cooking until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the pierogi from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the crispy pan-fried homemade pierogi hot, with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
Homemade pierogi, a beloved Polish dish, has a rich history dating back to the 13th century. Traditionally, these delectable dumplings are boiled, but pan-frying them adds a delightful crispy texture. Renowned chefs like Chef Marek of Warsaw's famous Pierogi Heaven have perfected this technique, elevating the dish to new heights. The best version of this dish can be found in the heart of Krakow, where local chefs meticulously craft each pierogi by hand. The key to achieving the perfect pan-fried pierogi lies in the dough, which should be tender yet sturdy, and the filling, which can range from classic potato and cheese to savory meats or tangy sauerkraut. Whether enjoyed in a cozy Polish eatery or made at home, pan-fried pierogi are a true culinary delight.
