Potato and Cheese Pierogi

By: BOB_E_72 
"This recipe is an Ukrainian one of my Great-Grandmothers passed down from the years. They are great with melted butter and sauteed onions, or fry if desired. They can also be frozen between layers of plastic wrap."

Original Recipe Yield 20 dozen
 

Ingredients

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 pinch salt
  • water as needed
  •  
  • 5 pounds potatoes, peeled
  • 1 pound processed cheese, cubed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • onion salt to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes; drain.
  2. Combine flour, eggs and salt. Mix in a little water at a time until dough is somewhat stiff. Roll dough in small sections about 1/4 inch thick. Using a large biscuit cutter or drinking glass, make circle cuts.
  3. To make filling: Mix together potatoes, cheese, salt, pepper and onion salt. Fill each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture, fold over and seal edges. To cook, bring a large pot of water to boil, carefully dropping in one at a time; stir once. They are done when they float to the top.
