These were really good, but labor intensive. You MUST use white flour in the dough, or it just falls apart. The filling was very yummy. A mold for making the pierogis may help in making them look a little nicer.
Ingredients:
3 1/2 quarts water
2 cups chopped unpeeled potatoes
1 cup ricotta cheese
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dijon mustard (i used more)
1 teaspoon dill (i used more here too)
1 dash black pepper
1 1/2 cups white flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (use more if you like this flavor)
4 tablespoons butter
2 eggs, beaten
butter
sour cream
paprika
Directions:
1. Bring water to boil and cook the potatoes until they are tender. Drain and mash in a medium bowl.
2. Add the cheeses and lemon juice, mustard, dill and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
3. Combine flour, salt and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the flour until well blended.
4. Add eggs and knead until smooth. Divide into 16 balls. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil.
5. Roll out each ball into a circle. Place 1 1/2 tablespoons filling on one side, leaving a 1/4 “ border.
6. Fold in half and press edges with a fork to seal. Cook in the boiling water until they rise to the top. Serve with sour cream, butter and paprika.
