  Step 1

  Cook potatoes in boiling water.

• 

  Step 2

  Chop up the onion in to small slices. Place the butter in a frying pan and set at a medium heat. Fry the onions until they turn golden and yummy looking remove them from the heat.

• 

  Step 3

  Mash up the potatoes in a bowl and add the onions.

• 

  Step 4

  Add the cottage cheese. Mix together well. This is our pierogi filling. Add a few spices or some salt to flavour.

• 

  Step 5

  Heap the flour together on a surface and create a well in the middle. Beat an egg and pour in to the middle of the well.

• 

  Step 6

  Knead together with warm water until it forms a thick dough. This can be a bit oogie and messy.

• 

  Step 7

  Roll the dough out thin and use a cookie cutter to cut out a shape. Place some filling on one side of the dough shape.

• 

  Step 8

  Fold the dough over and press together. Use a fork to score around the edges. Make as many as you want to eat.

• 

  Step 9

  Place a small batch in to a pan of boiling water and cover. When the pierogi start to float uncover them and cook on a high heat for 2 minutes and then drain. They taste delicious with sour cream. Enjoy.

Yum. What kind of fillings do you put in yours?

Kim · Cirencester, England, GB · 56 projects 14th November 2012

Same as you! He's polish and that's the traditional filling, but also sometimes meat and potato and cottage cheese instead of onion

oooh! as people have said, these are russian, and yes they are called vareniki when there is potatoes or something of the sort in them. pilmeni are ones with meat. my family members and I are experts at making these, with an assembly line and stuff. it's great fun

Cat Morley · London, GB · 1432 projects 14th November 2012

Haha, you need an assembly line to make them!

Just to let you know I made your version of this recipe a few times and I think my fiance adores you for it.
Only change was that I added sour cream to the dough.
