Potato Perogies

I have always loved perogies since I was a kid. I have always wanted to try to make my own but I have heard stories from others that it takes all day long. I don't have that kind of time to spend in the kitchen. So I was really wanting to make my own perogies so I searched for an easy recipe and here I found it. These perogies turned out so flavorful! They were easy to make as well. It only took me about 1 hour to make the perogies!!!

Potato Perogies
Adapted From All Recipes

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup cold water
5 pounds baking potatoes
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons sour cream
salt and pepper to taste


To Make Dough: In a medium bowl combine the flour, salt, egg and water. Mix all together to form dough; cover bowl and set aside.

To Make Potato Filling: Place potatoes in a large pot. Add water to cover, bring to a boil, and boil for 25 to 35 minutes or until tender. Remove potatoes from water and mash. Stir in cheese, sour cream, and season with salt and pepper.

Roll reserved dough out on a floured surface. Cut circles out of dough, using a small round container. Place a spoonful of potato filling in the center of each circle and fold over, pinching edges together to seal. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; drop perogies in boiling water and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they float.

After boiling the potatoes saute in a pan with light oil until browned. Then serve with vegetables, sour cream, or alone!
