Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Dumpling Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
⅔ cup water
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 (7.6 ounce) package instant mashed potato flakes

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Cut in the butter using a fork until pieces are very small. Stir in the water and mix until well blended. If the dough is too sticky, stir in a little more flour until you can knead it on a floured surface. Knead the dough for 2 to 3 minutes. Cover, and let rest for 10 or 15 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or large glass. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
  • To make the filling, prepare the mashed potato flakes according to package directions. Set aside. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions; cook and stir until soft and transparent. Remove from the heat, and mix in the mashed potatoes.
  • Place one tablespoon of the pierogi filling onto each circle of dough. Fold circles over and pinch the edges to seal tightly so that no filling will escape while they boil. They can be frozen at this time if you like.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully drop several perogies into the water. They are done when they float to the top. Continue the process with remaining perogies. You can also fry the perogies in some butter with onion before serving if you like.

BABACI'S POTATO PIEROGI



Babaci's Potato Pierogi image

This recipe was given to me by my grandmother. One of my friends from Poland told me they were better than his mother's!

Provided by MOELIZ

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Dumpling Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
3 eggs
3 tablespoons cream cheese, divided
3 teaspoons milk, divided
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 ½ (8 ounce) containers cottage cheese
salt to taste
2 tablespoons butter
oil for frying

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool.
  • Meanwhile, prepare dough by combining 1 egg, 1 tablespoon cream cheese, 1 teaspoon milk and 1/2 cup flour. Once all the flour has been worked in, add another 1/2 cup flour, 1 tablespoon cream cheese and 1 teaspoon milk. When the dough is well blended, add 1 egg, 1 tablespoon cream cheese and another 1/2 cup flour; mix well. Finally, add the remaining egg, 1 teaspoon milk and 1/2 cup flour. If dough is too dry, add a little more milk; if too wet, add more flour.
  • On a well floured surface, roll out 1/4 of the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Using a glass, muffin cutter, or any rounded surface, cut out circles of dough. Flour both sides of the circle and set aside in a single layer on wax paper. Repeat process with remaining dough.
  • Mash the potatoes with the cottage cheese, salt and butter. Place a spoonful of the filling slightly below the center of a circle of dough. Fold the dough over and seal edges with fingertips. Use enough filling so that you have to stretch the dough over it, but not so much that it squeezes out when sealed.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in pierogis, a few at a time. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they float to the top; drain.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry boiled pierogis in hot oil until crispy.

POTATO AND ONION PIEROGI



Potato and Onion Pierogi image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h50m

Yield about 24 pierogi

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, to saute the onion
4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
6 garlic chives, white and tender green parts only
3 tablespoons butter, for the mashed potatoes
1/4 cup milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon sour cream
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus some extra for the board and to adjust dough as needed
Milk or water, as needed to moisten
1 or 2 eggs to make an egg wash to seal the pierogi
2 to 4 tablespoons butter, to saute the pierogi
1 to 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to boil for the potatoes. Saute the onion in a small pan in 2 tablespoons of butter until translucent and set aside. Boil the potatoes until tender.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, begin the dough. Whisk together the eggs, 1/4 cup water and sour cream and pour into a small pitcher (or you can actually whisk them right in a container such as a 2-cup glass measuring vessel). Mound the flour in the center of a clean room-temperature work surface like a large wooden cutting board. Create a crater in the center of the mound. Pour enough of the egg mixture into the center to fill the crater. With a fork, gently begin to scramble the mixture within the confines of the crater, whilst integrating the flour from the sides of the crater as you carefully beat the egg mixture.
  • Once this first amount of the egg mixture is mostly mixed in, shore up the sides of the mound again with flour, maintaining the crater shape. Repeat the process with a second pour of egg mixture into the crater, and again until you have combined all the egg mixture. (Remember that making pasta is not an exact science. Depending on the flour, you may need more moisture to make the dough come together, in which case use a little extra milk or water. Conversely, if the dough is too wet, add a little more flour - but just enough to make it the right consistency. This is an acquired skill so be patient with yourself.) Start kneading the dough with your palms, allowing the warmth of your hands to impart elasticity to the dough. Knead for a count of about 400 strokes or until you feel you have created a cohesive mass. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and allow it to rest for about 30 minutes.
  • Return to the potatoes, drain, and mash them with the sauteed onion, chives, butter, milk, and salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • Work with 1/3 of the pasta dough at a time - keeping the balance wrapped in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. Use a pasta machine to gradually roll each section of the pasta down, successively reducing the setting on the machine until it is at a thickness of 1/16th of an inch.
  • Cut 3-inch circles of pasta, spoon some of the mashed potatoes into the center and fold the filled circles into half moons, sealing the edges with egg wash and pressing shut with your fingers or carefully with the times of a fork.
  • Bring a large shallow saute pan of water to a boil, and gently boil the pierogi in batches for 2 or 3 minutes, removing carefully to a utility platter with a wooden spoon.
  • The final step is to melt the butter in a large fry pan and saute the garlic for a few minutes until it is tender and imparts its flavor to the butter in the pan. Be careful not to burn either the butter or the garlic. Saute the pierogi in this garlic butter and serve.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 dozen, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 eggs
1 tablespoon oil
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream (I do not care for low fat)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 cups sauerkraut, drained and minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
6 red potatoes, peeled and mashed about 2 cups
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the sauerkraut filling by melting the butter in a skillet over medium low heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until light brown, about 20 minutes. Add the drained sauerkraut and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then remove to a plate to cool.
  • For the mashed potato filling, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook over medium low heat until light brown, about 20 minutes. Stir into the mashed potatoes, and season with salt and white pepper.
  • To make the dough, beat together the eggs, oil and sour cream until smooth. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder; stir into the sour cream mixture until dough comes together. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until firm and smooth. Divide the dough in half, wrap half in plastic wrap then roll out the other half to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 3 inch rounds using a biscuit cutter.
  • Place a small spoonful of the filling into the center of each round. Moisten the edges with water or egg wash, fold over, and press together with a fork or pinch with fingers to seal.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a very slow boil add 6-8 perogies at a time (do not crowd them) and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until pierogi float to the top. Remove and drain.
  • Serve with melted butter and carmelized onions spooned over the top.
  • Or serve with horsesradish and sour cream.
