Perohe (or Pierogies)

submitted by George and Debbie Kulick

 

Ingredients:

 

For dough:
3 cups white flour
2 eggs
cold water
1/2 tsp salt

For filling:
6 oz. Medium Cheddar Cheese (2/3 of a 1/2 moon package)
1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 stick margarine
6 medium potatoes, pealed

1 stick margerine
equal amount in volume of Wesson or other light oil
1 large yellow onion
 

 

Directions:

 

For filling, boil potatoes, add cheese, salt, pepper, margarine, mash well and set aside.

For dough, combine flour ,eggs, water, salt. Knead until smooth and not too wet (do not over knead) Let rest for 30 minutes. Cut dough in half and roll out to about 1/4" thick. Using a large diameter glass or cookie cutter, cut circles. Take excess dough, reform and role out again until all the dough is used up. Take each circle of dough and put about 1 TSP potato filling into the center of the circle of dough. Fold dough over until it makes a half circle shape. Firmly pinch the dough to seal the edges - try to not get any filling in this seal or they will leak when boiled. Place completed perohe on a towel, not touching each other, so they will not stick to each other of the counter top.

Dice onion and sauté in butter/margarine mixture. Take care to not brown onions. Cook until onions are clear.

Boil water in a large pot. Place 6-8 perohe into the boiling water - stir to avoid initial sticking to pot. When they float, take out and place immediately into cold water for 10 seconds or so. Then place in sautéed onion/margarine mixture. Serve immediately. Good served alone, or with eggs and sausage in the morning, or with a steak at night.
