Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup mashed potatoes
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, grated cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles from the dough.
  • Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the vareniki into the boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
  • While the vareniki are cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook until they are golden brown.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked vareniki to a serving dish. Drizzle with the melted butter and bread crumbs.
  • Serve the vareniki delight hot, with sour cream or your favorite sauce.
  • Enjoy!
