Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, add the flour and a small pinch of salt. Whisk with a fork.
  • Pour in the vegetable oil and water. Slowly start working the liquids into the flour. The dough will be shaggy… add a bit of water if it isn’t coming together, one teaspoon at a time, just until a dough forms.
  • Flour your work surface and tip the dough out of the bowl. Begin kneading and adding flour as needed, until a soft and smooth dough forms, approximately 5-6 minutes.
  • Form into a ball and return to the bowl used to mix the ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  • In the meantime, begin making the filling.
  • Add the potatoes to a small pot filled with salted water and place over high heat. Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer the potatoes until fork-tender, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are simmering, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add onion and mushrooms. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables become very soft and lightly browned, approximately 10-12 minutes.
  • Stir the garlic into the mushrooms and cook until fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Drain the potatoes and add to the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir in one-half of the fresh dill and taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
  • To assemble the pierogis, dust your work surface with flour and roll out the dough as thin as possible. Using a cookie cutter, cut out 16 circles from the dough.
  • Place around a tablespoon of the filling into the center of each circle and lightly brush the dough with water around the filling – this will help the dough stick when forming the pierogis. Fold the sides of the dough on top of the filling, forming a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges with your fingers. Repeat with all 16 pierogis.
  • Fill a large pot with water and season generously with salt. Working in batches, drop 6-8 pierogis into the water and boil until they float, approximately 2-3 minutes (do not crowd). Using a slotted spoon, remove the pierogis and transfer onto a paper-lined plate.
  • In the meantime, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pierogis to the melted butter and sauté until crispy and golden on both sides, around 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the warm pierogis with a dollop of sour cream and extra fresh dill. Enjoy!
