- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- For the Potato Filling:
- 3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Caramelized Onions Topping:

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions
- To make the Pierogi Dough, 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 unsalted butter. Knead the dough until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the Potato Filling. Boil the diced potatoes until tender, then mash them in a bowl. Add 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and the finely chopped small onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix until well combined.
- Roll out the Pierogi Dough on a floured surface and cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a glass. Place a spoonful of the Potato Filling in the center of each circle, then fold the dough over and press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- 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 set aside.
- To make the Caramelized Onions Topping, heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Serve the cooked pierogi with a generous spoonful of the Caramelized Onions Topping on top. Enjoy!
