Total Time: 2 hrs 45 mins Preparation Time: 2 hrs Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 4 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1/2 cup milk
• potato (see below)
• 1 (13 1/4 ounce) package medium cheese (or one large bag of medium pre-shredded cheese)
• 2 medium onions, chopped and cooked
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• salt

Recipe

• 1 dough:.
• 2 put the water, milk and egg in a large bowl.
• 3 add the flour to the bowl slowly. mix well. knead on a board until dough is smooth and elastic. cover and leave in warm place for about an hour or two.
• 4 roll out like for a pie crust. *a pasta roller/machine is good for this! - this dough is very elastic-y, so any help is welcome! :)
• 5 filling:.
• 6 use your largest saucepan and fill it with cubed potatoes it will be enough for the dough, and boil until a fork will go through -- just as if you were making mashed potatoes. drain potatoes when done.
• 7 fry onions in butter until translucent.
• 8 cut the cheese into cubes or shred it and add it to the drained potatoes.
• 9 add fried onions and mash it all together! i throw it all in my kitchen aid mixer and mix it that way.
• 10 assembly:.
• 11 cut into 2 inch circles, a glass works well if you don't have a cookie cutter. place a teaspoon of filling on each one.
• 12 fold the dough in half, then pinch the edges together to form a ridge, thus sealing the filling inches
• 13 cover the waiting dough with a tea towel, and the finished perogies with one also, to prevent them from drying out.
• 14 cooking:.
• 15 drop into salted boiling water and stir with a wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot. boil 4-5 minutes, strain in a colander--rinse once in cold water, then drain.
• 16 serve hot, with sour cream. may also be served with some lightly fried onions. at this point, if you wish, you also fry the perogies in a little butter until golden brown.
