Pierogi is a staple of Polish cuisine, but it can also be found in other Eastern European countries such as Ukraine and Russia. They are traditionally served during holiday seasons and family gatherings, but they are perfect for cold and cozy evenings or as a quick and delicious meal anytime. This recipe for Sauerkraut, Potato and Cheese Pierogi W- Onions is a traditional Polish recipe that features a savory filling of mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, and cheese, all wrapped up in a pillowy-soft dough. The dish is served with caramelized onions on top, which adds a touch of sweetness and complements the savory flavors of the pierogi. It is a high-protein and high-carbohydrate meal that is perfect for warming you up on a cold winter evening.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add egg, sour cream and water. Mix until it forms a dough. Knead it in the bowl or on a floured surface for about 5 minutes.
2.Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3.In a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the potatoes until fork-tender. Drain any excess water. Add in sour cream and salt. Mash the potatoes until smooth.
4.In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until golden brown.
5.In a separate bowl, mix sauerkraut and cheese.
6.Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a glass.
7.Place spoonfuls of the potato mixture and sauerkraut mixture on one half of each dough circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Fold over the dough and press the edges together to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
8.Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pierogi and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top. Drain and serve with onions on top.
