Instructions
Make the dough: mix flour and salt, then stir in egg, sour cream, and warm water until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap and rest 30 minutes.
Make the filling: boil potatoes until tender, 15 minutes. Drain and mash. Stir in cheese, salt, and white pepper while hot so the cheese melts.
Roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut 3-inch circles. Place a tablespoon of filling in each, fold in half, and pinch edges firmly to seal.
Tip: Make sure there's no air trapped inside and the edges are sealed well, or they'll open during boiling.
Boil the pierogi in salted water for 3-4 minutes. They're done when they float. Drain well.
Melt butter in a large skillet. Saute the sliced onion until caramelized, 10 minutes. Add the boiled pierogi and cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Serve with sour cream and caramelized onions.
