- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- For the Potato Filling:
- 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and diced

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. Mix until the dough comes together. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the Potato Filling. Boil the diced potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender. Drain and mash the potatoes. In a skillet, sauté the diced onion until translucent. Mix the sautéed onions, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper into the mashed potatoes. Set aside.
- Roll out the Pierogi 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 Filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, creating a half-moon shape.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pierogi in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In a skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
- To serve, top the cooked Pierogi Ruskie with the crispy bacon and chopped green onions. Enjoy!
