Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups water
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 egg
1 tsp salt
3 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
2 lb white potatoes, peeled , cooked until tender and cooled
1/4 lb farmers cheese
1 tbsp vegetable oil
salt
freshly ground white pepper
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup pickled red onions
1 tbsp chopped chives

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the water, oil and egg. Mix well. Add the salt and 3 cups of the flour. Mix until the dough comes together and form a smooth ball. **If the dough is too sticky-add a little more flour, about 1/4 cup at a time. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 30 minutes. For the filling: Pass the potatoes through a hand ricer. In a bowl combine the potatoes, cheese and oil. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll to a square, about 14 inches and 1/4-inch thick. Cut the dough into3 inch squares. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each square. Wet the edges of the dough with a little water and fold the dough over to form triangle. Seal the edges completely. Bring a pot of salt water to a boil. Add the triangles and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes or until the triangles float for 1 minute. Remove and drain on paper towels. In a large skillet, melt half of the butter. Pan-fry the dumplings in batches. Cook until golden both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt. Serve warm with the sour cream and pickled red onions.
