Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups starchy potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 lb smoked kielbasa (sliced)
  • 1 medium onion (sliced)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (for frying)
  • Sour cream (for topping)
  • Fresh chives (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil the peeled potatoes until fork-tender, drain, and mash with cheddar cheese until creamy.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, egg, water, and salt to form a soft dough. Knead lightly and let rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles (3 inches in diameter).
  4. Place a tablespoon of potato filling on each circle, fold over, and pinch edges to seal.
  5. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté sliced kielbasa until browned (5-7 minutes). Remove from skillet.
  6. Boil pierogies in salted water until they float (about 3-4 minutes). Drain and add to the skillet with kielbasa; sauté together for another 3-4 minutes until golden.
  7. Serve hot topped with sour cream and fresh chives.
