Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup warm water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in warm water and oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
In a skillet, sauté the chopped onion in butter until translucent. Add the mashed potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface until thin. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a glass. Place a spoonful of the potato filling onto each circle.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pierogi in batches for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well.
Serve hot with sour cream.
