Ingredients
Directions
- Start by mixing the flour and salt in a bowl. Create a little well in the middle, then crack in the egg and pour in the water. Knead the mixture until it’s nice and smooth, with a bit of elasticity.
- Once that’s done, cover it up and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
- Next, take your diced potatoes and boil them in salted water until they’re tender. Once they’re ready, drain them and give them a good mash.
- In a skillet, melt some butter and sauté the chopped onion until it turns golden brown. Combine the sautéed onion with your mashed potatoes, and don’t forget to season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Now, roll out your dough on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Use a glass or cookie cutter to cut out circles.
- Place a small spoonful of the potato filling right in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over and pinch the edges to seal them up tight.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then gently drop the pelmeni into the bubbling water. Cook them until they float to the top, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once they’re done, scoop them out with a slotted spoon and serve them hot with a dollop of sour cream on the side. Enjoy!
