👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. To make the dough, combine flour, egg, and warm water in a large bowl; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
2. For the filling, boil potatoes until tender, then mash them smoothly. Sauté finely diced onion in butter until golden brown, then mix with the mashed potatoes and farmer's cheese.
3. Divide the dough into portions and roll each thinly on a lightly floured surface. Cut out circles using a glass or cookie cutter.
4. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle, then fold the dough in half to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges firmly to seal the pierogi completely.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully drop the pierogi into the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes after they float to the surface.
6. Remove the cooked pierogi with a slotted spoon. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream, crispy fried onions, or melted butter.
