Polish Pierogi

Shell:
5 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of water
3 large eggs
1/2 cup of butter, softened

Filling:
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 medium onions, chopped
2 tablespoons of butter
5 ounces of cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper

Additional ingredients:
1/4 cup of chopped onion
1 tablespoon of butter
Minced fresh parsley

Preparation:
In a food processor, combine flour and salt; cover and pulse to blend. Add water, eggs and butter; cover and pulse until dough forms a ball, adding an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed. Let rest, covered, 15 to 30 minutes.
Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until tender, 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute onions in butter until tender; set aside.
Drain potatoes. Over very low heat, stir potatoes until any remaining water has evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Press through a potato ricer or strainer into a large bowl. Stir in cream cheese, salt, pepper and onion mixture; set aside.
Divide dough into 4 parts. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 portion of dough to 1/8-in. thickness; cut with a floured 3-in. biscuit cutter. Place 2 teaspoons of filling in the center of each circle. Moisten edges with water; fold in half and press edges to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Bring a Dutch oven filled with water to a boil over high heat; add pierogi in batches. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer; cook until the pierogi float to the top and are tender, 1-2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. In a large skillet, saute 4 pierogi and onion in butter until pierogi are lightly browned and heated through; sprinkle with parsley. Repeat with remaining pierogi.

Enjoy, Nightunner.
