Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp sea salt
2 eggs
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 lb russet potatoes
2 tbsp kosher salt (optional)
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup salted butter or extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh mint
1 yellow onion
4 strips bacon
cottage cheese (optional)

Steps

Mix the flour and sea salt in a bowl, add the eggs and oil, then add enough water to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough for 5 minutes, cover it, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Boil the potatoes in salted water for 18 to 20 minutes, drain them, and mash them with pepper.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, add the onion, and cook for 5 minutes until soft.
Mix the bacon, onion, and mint into the potatoes, roll out the dough, cut 12 rounds, fill them, and seal the edges.
Boil the pierogi in batches for 4 to 5 minutes until they float, then pan-fry them in butter or oil for 3 to 4 minutes per side.
