Directions:
- Peel potatoes and cut into size suitable for boiling.
- Boil potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, shred the cheese on a box grater.
- When potatoes are cooked, rice them into a large bowl.
- Fold the cheese into the hot potatoes.
- Set aside.
- On a board, make a well of the flour.
- Add the eggs to the center.
- Add two eggshells of water to center.
- Mix with a fork until the well has just about been incorporated.
- Using two knives, knead the mixture until you can knead it with your hands.
- Allow the dough to rest for at least 5 minutes.
- Roll dough to about 1/8 thickness.
- Cut dough into circles of perhaps 5 diameter (we use a small coffee can).
- Place small amount of potato mixture a little off-center on the dough circle.
- Be careful not to get too close to the edges.
- Fold dough over potato mixture.
- Seal the edges of the pierogi well.
- You can use water to help the edges seal.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Reduce heat.
- GENTLY drop pierogi into the simmering water.
- Don't crowd the pot!
- Allow the pierogi to float to the top of the water.
- As the pierogi rise to the top, remove them to drain on a kitchen towel.
- To cook, melt butter in a large skillet.
- Saute onions, if desired.
- Fry pierogies until golden on both sides.
- After all the work you just did, ENJOY!
