Perogies

Delicious homemade perogies filled with potato or sauerkraut and bacon.

Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour (2 cup)
  • cold water (0.67 cup)
  • large egg (1 -)
  • salt (1 teaspoon)
  • baking potatoes (5 pound)
  • bacon (1 pound)
  • shredded Cheddar cheese (1 cup)
  • bacon (0.25 pound)
  • sauerkraut (1 jar)
  • sour cream (3 tablespoon)

Instructions

  1. Make dough: Combine flour, cold water, beaten egg, and salt in a bowl; mix until a smooth dough forms. Cover the bowl and set aside.
  2. Make potato filling: Place potatoes in a large pot. Add water to cover, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, 25 to 35 minutes. Drain and mash in the pot until smooth.
  3. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble and stir into mashed potatoes. Stir in cheese; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  4. Make sauerkraut filling: Place bacon in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain, crumble, and place in a medium bowl. Stir in sauerkraut, then sour cream. Mix well.
  5. Roll dough out on a floured surface to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out 3-inch circles with a cookie cutter or an upside-down drinking glass. Place a spoonful of potato or sauerkraut filling in the center of each circle and fold over, pinching edges together to seal.
  6. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; drop perogies in boiling water and cook until they float, 4 to 5 minutes.
