1 cup plain greek yogurt, plus more for serving
1 large egg
POTATO AND CHEESE FILLING
8 oz (250 g) full-fat Polish farmer's cheese (twaróg, ser biały) or ricotta
1 lb (454 g) potatoes
8 oz (250 g) full-fat Polish farmer's cheese (twaróg, ser biały) or ricotta
1 lb (454 g) potatoes
1 large onion, finely diced
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp salt
LOADED BAKED POTATO VARIATION
4 oz. sharp orange cheddar, grated
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

4 oz. sharp orange cheddar, grated
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 small bunch chives, finely sliced
TOPPINGS
grated sharp cheddar cheese
sour cream, or plain greek yogurt
finely sliced chives
Instructions
1. To make the dough. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, butter, yogurt, and egg, and mix until combined. Add a little more flour if the dough is still very sticky. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes. Cover and let sit 30 minutes.
2. To make the filling. Peel the potatoes, rinse, cut into 1-inch dice and place in a pot. Add salt, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer under tender, about 20 minutes. Strain, and either put them back in the pot and mash while still hot, or press the cooked potatoes through a potato ricer. Allow to cool.
3. In a small pan, melt the butter. Sauté the diced onions over medium-low heat until softened and caramelized. Add to the mashed potatoes.
4. If needed, crush the farmer's/ricotta cheese with a fork. Mix with potatoes and onions, and season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside.

4. If needed, crush the farmer's/ricotta cheese with a fork. Mix with potatoes and onions, and season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside.
5. If making the loaded baked potato variation, add the crumbled bacon, grated cheddar cheese and chives to the filling during this step.
To form the pierogi, bring the 2 sides up around the filling and pinch together at the very centre. Working down one side at a time, gently pull the dough up over the filling and pinch together, making sure to press out all the air. Work down the second side in the same way. Make one last pass over the edge, pinching again to ensure a good seal, dipping fingers in flour if the dough sticks to them. DO NOT use water to seal the pierogi!

(At this point, the pierogi can be frozen on a baking sheet, then transferred to a freezer bag and kept for up to 3 months.)
7. When ready to cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the pierogies in batches for 2-3 minutes, until they float. Drain.
8. In a cast-iron pan or frying pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Fry the boiled pierogi in the pan until golden brown, then turn over and fry the other side. Transfer fried pierogi to serving bowls.
9. Garnish hot pierogi with sour cream or plain, full-fat greek yogurt, more grated cheddar cheese, and finely sliced chives.

Pierogi aux pommes de terre
Ingrédients
PÂTE1 cuillère à café de sel
2 cuillères à soupe de beurre salé, fondu
1 tasse de yogourt grec nature, extra pour servir
1 œuf large
8 oz (250 g) de fromage fermier polonais (twaróg, ser biały) ou fromage ricotta
1 lb (454 g) de pommes de terre
1 gros oignon, coupé finement
2 cuillères à soupe de beurre
1/2 cuillère à café de poivre moulu
1 cuillère à café de sel
VARIATION DE POMMES DE TERRE AU FOUR CHARGÉES
4 oz (125 g) cheddar orange fort, râpé
8 tranches de bacon, cuites et émiettées
1 petit bouquet de ciboulette, finement ciselé
4 oz (125 g) cheddar orange fort, râpé
8 tranches de bacon, cuites et émiettées
1 petit bouquet de ciboulette, finement ciselé
GARNITURE
fromage cheddar fort râpé
crème sure ou yogourt grec nature
ciboulette finement ciselée
fromage cheddar fort râpé
crème sure ou yogourt grec nature
ciboulette finement ciselée
Instructions
3. Dans une petite poêle, faire fondre le beurre. Faire revenir les oignons coupés en dés à feu moyen-doux jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient ramollis et caramélisés. Ajouter à la purée de pommes de terre.
4. Si besoin, écrasez le fromage fermier/ricotta avec une fourchette. Mélanger avec les pommes de terre et les oignons et assaisonner généreusement de sel et de poivre. Mettre de côté.
Pour former les pierogi, rapprochez les 2 côtés opposés autour de la garniture et pincez ensemble au centre. En travaillant un côté à la fois, tirez doucement la pâte autour de la garniture et pincez-la ensemble, en veillant à évacuer tout l'air. Travaillez le deuxième côté de la même manière. Faire un dernier passage sur le bord, en pinçant à nouveau pour assurer une bonne étanchéité, en trempant les doigts dans de la farine si la pâte y colle. N'utilisez PAS d'eau pour sceller le pierogi !
