• 500g flour
• 1 egg
• 250ml warm water
• 1 tbsp oil, 1 tsp salt
• Filling: 500g potatoes, boiled and mashed, 250g twaróg or ricotta, 1 onion fried in butter
• butter and fried onion to serve
• soured cream

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Make a soft dough with the flour, egg, water, oil and salt. Knead 8 min, then rest it under a warm bowl 30 min. Resting is what makes it roll thin without springing back.
2. Mash the potato with the cheese and fried onion, and season it much more heavily than feels right — the dough is bland.
3. Roll the dough thin and cut 8cm rounds.
4. Put a spoon of filling on each, fold and pinch the edge firmly. Dry edges seal; floury ones don't.
5. Boil in batches in well-salted water. They are done about 2 min after they float.
6. Fry the boiled pierogi in butter with onion until blistered. Soured cream on the side.
