Home made pierogi with bacon jam | Food Production and Preservation | Forums

My polish side is showing through on this one

I gathered some supplies, those are the last of my potatoes, need to grow a larger crop this year

I got the potatoes boiling in water

and took 3 cups of flour

and added a cup of yogurt, need to make some more

and one egg and tsp of salt

I mixed it well

and then poured in a cup of water

and formed a dough ball

while that rested for a half hour, I chopped up half a onion

and set that in a pot with butter and pepper

I let it caramelize

the potatoes were done boiling,

so I used a slotted spoon to transfer them into the onion pan, I saved the potato water and let it continue to boil

I added the last of my cream cheese, about 8 oz or so I guess

and mashed it with a spoon to give it texture

I cut off a piece of dough and laid it on my floured cutting board, rolling it out

I used a coffee cup to cut out circles

and spooned some of the filling onto each one

I took a egg white and brushed around the edge of the dough

and folded it over and used a fork to seal the edges

I moved them into the potato water I still had boiling until they float which takes a couple minutes

and drained them

and moved them directly into a saute pan with melted butter and browned and crisped them up

a little salt, pepper and bacon jam, and you're good to go
