These are just like the pierogi I used to make with my dad, except I use real Cheddar to add more flavor. I have also used chives, sage, and rosemary in place of the dill and parsley. Serve hot with sour cream and green onion, butter and/or applesauce.

Ready in: 3 hours 30 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 8

• Filling:
• 3-4 russet potatoes
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter
• 12 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 teaspoons dill
• 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
• Dough:
• 2 cups flour
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup warm water

Preparation method

Prep: 3 hours | Cook: 30 mins

1. Peel and boil the potatoes until soft. Drain and mash with milk and butter. Mix in grated cheese until melted.

2. Add dill and parsley and mix until distributed. Let cool and dry for several hours, then store in fridge.

3. Combine flour, egg, salt and warm water. Stir until crumbly. On a floured surface, knead dough, adding flour, until the dough is no longer sticky.

4. Roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness, then use biscuit cutter or drinking glass to cut out circles.

5. Fill circles with a small teaspoon of filling, wet the edges with water and seal thoroughly.

6. Place pierogi individually in boiling pot of water. Let boil until double in size and floating. Drain.
