Pierogi Ruskie with Caramelized Onions
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 butter, softened
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
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. Knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 2 cups of mashed potatoes and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out circles of dough.
- Place a spoonful of the potato and cheese filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pierogi in batches for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
- In a separate skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the caramelized onions and pierogi to the skillet, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the pierogi are lightly browned.
- Serve the pierogi ruskie with caramelized onions hot, and enjoy!
