Pierogies<\/span><\/h1>\n

Prep: 1 hour 45 minutes
\nCook: 45 minutes \u2022 Serves: 8<\/span> <\/p>\n

6 <\/span>medium russet potatoes (about 2-1\/2 pounds), unpeeled, cut\u00a0into 1-inch pieces
\n2-1\/2\t<\/span>tablespoons PICS unsalted butter<\/strong> plus additional for serving\u00a0(optional)
\n1\t<\/span>package (8 ounces) PICS shredded sharp Cheddar cheese<\/strong>
\n3\t<\/span>teaspoons kosher salt
\n6\t<\/span>cups PICS all-purpose flour<\/strong>
\n\t<\/span>PICS sour cream<\/strong> and chopped green onions for serving\u00a0(optional)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1.<\/span>In large covered saucepot, heat potatoes and enough salted water to cover to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, uncovered 15 minutes or until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife. Reserve 2-1\/4 cups cooking water; add butter.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span>Drain potatoes; return to saucepot. Add cheese and 1 teaspoon salt; mash with potato masher until well combined.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/span>In large bowl, stir flour and remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Gradually stir in cooking water-butter mixture until dough forms; you may not need to use all of the water.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4.<\/span>Transfer dough to work surface; knead dough 5 minutes or until smooth. Cover dough with plastic wrap and let stand 10 minutes.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5.<\/span>With rolling pin, roll dough 1\/8-inch thick; cut out circles with 4-inch round cutter or glass. Gather scraps; re-roll to cut additional circles. Place about 1 tablespoon potato mixture in center of each circle; dip brush in water and lightly run along 1 side of dough circle. Fold dough over filling; press edges together to seal and place in single layer on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Makes about 45 pierogies.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6.<\/span>Heat large saucepot of water to a boil over high heat. In batches, add pierogies and cook 8 minutes or until edges of pierogies are cooked through; drain. Toss hot pierogies with butter and serve topped with sour cream and green onions, if desired.
