Pierogi Recipe: Potato and Cheese Filling
by: Michael A. Stazko One of the most popular, if not the best, Polish dishes is the pierogi.
Pierogi is a versatile food that can be enjoyed several different ways. It is
basically a dumpling that can be stuffed with meat, sauerkraut, potato, or any
other filling of your choice. My personal favorite is pierogi stuffed with
cheese and potato. Here is the recipe: Dough: 2 cups of flour
3/4 cup of warm water
1 egg
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Filling: 2 large or 4 regular sized potatoes
3 slices of Velveeta Cheese
2 tablespoons of cream cheese
salt and pepper to your liking
Directions: Peel the potatoes and cut them into small pieces. Put the potatoes in a
pot of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium/high and let the
potatoes cook for 20 minutes or until soft. While the potatoes are cooking, start making the dough. Spray and coat an
empty bowl with cooking spray. Add the water, egg, and vegetable oil to the bowl
and stir. Then mix in the flour and salt until you make a dough. Take the dough
out of the bowl and kneed it on a table with flour until it is smooth and not
too sticky. Roll the dough into a ball, put it under plastic wrap, and let it
sit for 30 minutes. When the potatoes are done cooking, drain the water out of the pot. Add
the Velveeta and cream cheese along with some salt and pepper. You can also add
a small bit of milk to make the potatoes easier to mash. Then mash the potatoes
until they are smooth and fluffy. Let the potatoes cool. After you let the potatoes cool for about 15 minutes, your dough should be
ready. Take a large piece of dough and flatten it out, with a rolling pin, on a
table coated with some flour. Use a circle cookie cutter and cut out pieces of
dough. With a teaspoon, scoop a small amount of the potato filling and put it in
the middle of a piece of dough. Close the dough around the potato and pinch shut
with your fingers and a fork. Keep repeating this process until you run out of
dough or filling. This should make about 20 pierogi. When you are done making the pierogi, boil them, five at a time, in a pot
of water for two to three minutes, or until they float. Then fry them in pan
with butter. Now they are ready to eat. You can top them with sour cream, onion,
bacon, or your favorite gravy. Either way, this is a dish you are sure to enjoy. You can get other recipes and home improvement tips at http://www.buyandsellnorthtexas.com.
