Bubka's Homemade Pierogies image

These are delicious and freeze beautifully for up to three months. I got this recipe from my husbands grandmother who was born in Poland. Great as a side dish or as a comfort food snack - esp. on a cold day.

Categories     Potato

Time 2h

Yield 4 Dozen, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups flour
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup sour cream
2 1/2 lbs russet potatoes
1 lb cheddar cheese, Shredded
1 lb onion, Diced

Steps:

  • Boil and mash potatoes. Dice and sautee onions. Grate cheddar cheese.
  • Mix potatoes, onions and cheddar cheese together in large mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Mix flour, milk, eggs and sour cream together in separate mixing bowl until you get a smooth textured dough.
  • Roll out the dough to about 1/8" thickness. Flour the board lightly as you roll so dough does not stick.
  • Cut the dough into 2" circles. Place a 1" ball of potato filling in center of circle.
  • Squeeze the edges of each circle to form a half circle pierogi. Place pierogies in boiling water for about 3 minutes until they float to the top.
  • Transfer boiled pierogies to cold water. Dry on towel. Brush with melted butter.
  • To serve fresh, sautee until lightly browned on both sides - about 2 minutes per side. Serve with sauteed onions and sour cream.
  • To Freeze: Place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet and set in freezer. Once frozen, place in plastic bag. Label with date and contents. Freeze for up to 3 months.
