POTATOE-CHEESE
PIEROGI

Start with filling
1. Cook potatoes in salted water, drain them from water and mash the potatoes. Cool them.
2. Glaze 1 onion with butter
3. Grind farmer’s cheese. Mix potatoes with cheese and onion, spice it with salt and pepper.

1.put flour in a bowl, add egg. Next pour in the water very slowly mixing the dough with hand at the same time. The dough cannot be too wet – be moderate with water. Knead dough for a smooth mass.

2.place dough on pastry board covered with a thin layer of flour. Trim circles with a 2- inch glass. Put on each a large teaspoon portion of filling, then fold the edges of a pierog squeezing them pretty strongly (they need to be tight so that the boiling water didn’t get inside).

3.After you prepare all the pierogis, boil water in the pot (add a teaspoon of salt). When it really boils – throw pierogi in carefully. They will fall on the bottom of a pan.

4.After they come up to water surface – boil them for the next 3-5 minutes.

5.Take them out with slotted spoon and brush them with a melted butter so they don’t stick together.

6.Serve them with a glazed onion or fried bacon pieces.

Enjoy with well chilled Żywiec!
