Polish Pierogi with Cheese Sauce
​
Ingredients
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon and 1 1/2 teaspoons butter, melted
1 ½ cups sour cream
1 ½ eggs
¾ egg yolk
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
6 baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons processed cheese sauce
Onion salt to taste (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
​
Directions-
In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, sour cream, eggs, egg yolk and oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour until well blended. Cover the bowl with a towel, and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes.
Place potatoes into a pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, and mash with shredded cheese and cheese sauce while still hot. Season with onion salt, salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
Separate the pierogi dough into two balls. Roll out one piece at a time on a lightly floured surface until it is thin enough to work with, but not too thin so that it tears. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter, pierogi cutter, or a glass. Brush a little water around the edges of the circles, and spoon some filling into the center. Fold the circles over into half-circles, and press to seal the edges. Place pirogi on a cookie sheet, and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to freezer storage bags or containers.
To cook pierogi: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop pierogi in one at a time. They are done when they float to the top. Do not boil too long, or they will be soggy! Remove with a slotted spoon.
