Potato Piroshki
This is a family recipe. When I told my husband that he said they were just perogies, but its the preparation and execution that only my family does (that
I know of). Plus very culture has a version of potatoes and dough!
Start by boiling some potatoes then simmer until soft with some salt.
Separately, sauté some onion in olive oil.
Strain, mash the potatoes and mix in the onions.
Set that aside to cool.
Mix 2 cups flour, 3/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon oil and a teaspoon of salt.
Knead the dough and let rest, covered for 30 minutes. It will be dimply at first but after it rests it will become much more uniform.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface.
Brush with olive oil.
Place the mashed potatoes in a ring close the the edge and cut a slit in the middle.
Roll it until it forms a large ring
Use your hand to cut into the dough, moving it back and forth like a saw to make the dough roll into its self.
You will get a bunch of little balls.
Flatten them in your palm.
Keep them covered and pan fry for 5 minutes a side until golden brown.
These make great apps you can make in advance!
