Varenyky with Potato

Varenyky enclose a filling in thin dough with the edges pinched shut. In Yevhen Klopotenko’s potato recipe, the dough is made from wheat flour, water, salt and oil. It is rolled out and cut into circles with a glass before the filling is placed in the centre of each piece.^[1]

The potatoes are boiled and mashed, then mixed with salt, black pepper and part of an onion fried until golden. The remaining fried onion is kept for serving. Once shaped, the dumplings are cooked in salted boiling water and topped with the reserved onion.^[1]
