Perogies Prairie

Step by stepInstructions

1. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl, then stir in the egg, sour cream, melted butter, and enough warm water to form a soft dough, and knead it for a few minutes until smooth.
2. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes while you make the filling.
3. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, drain them well, and mash with the cheddar, diced onion, 2 tablespoons of butter, salt, and pepper.
4. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick and cut it into 3-inch rounds.
5. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each round, fold the dough over, and pinch the edges firmly to seal.
6. Drop the perogies into a pot of boiling salted water in batches and cook until they float, about 3 to 4 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.
7. Fry the cooked perogies in butter with sliced onions until golden and crispy on both sides, then serve hot with sour cream.
