Potato Vareniki
Vareniki are delicious dumplings popular in Eastern European cuisine. They are typically filled with ingredients like mashed potatoes, cheese, meat, or fruit, and can be boiled or fried.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mashed potatoes
- 1/2 cup grated cheese
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream (for serving)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the warm water and knead the dough until smooth. Cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, cheese, chopped onion, butter, salt, and pepper.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a glass.
- Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough in half to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the vareniki into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the vareniki with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate. Serve hot with sour cream on the side.
- Enjoy!
