Golden Piroshki, Gooey Cheese & Creamy Potato
Soft dough filled with smooth mashed potatoes, melted cheese, sautéed onion & fresh dill — fried until the crust is golden-crisp and the center is warm and indulgent.
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 1 packet dry yeast
- 150 g lukewarm water
- 150 g lukewarm milk
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter (lukewarm)
- 1 egg
- 600 g all-purpose flour
For the filling:
- 5 potatoes
- 150 g melting cheese of your choice
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 bunch dill, finely chopped
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive oil
Instructions
For the dough:
- Combine all the ingredients except for the flour in a large bowl. Mix well with a whisk until smooth.
- Gradually add the flour while kneading until the dough is soft, smooth, and no longer sticky. Adjust the flour as needed.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for 35–40 minutes.
- Divide the dough into small balls, about 25–30 g each, and flatten them into thin disks, roughly the size of a small plate.
For the filling:
- Peel and cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces for uniform cooking. Place them in a pot, cover with water, add salt, and boil for 30–35 minutes until soft.
- Drain the potatoes and mash them using a potato masher.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion for 2–3 minutes. Add the mashed potatoes and sauté for another 2–3 minutes before removing from heat.
- Mix in the cheese, pepper, dill, and a pinch of salt (if needed). Stir well to combine.
Assembling the piroshki:
- Place 1 tablespoon of the potato filling in the center of each dough disk.
- Fold the edges over the filling and seal tightly along the seam to prevent oil from seeping in during frying.
Frying the piroshki:
- Heat enough olive oil in a deep pot to submerge the piroshki. Test the oil with a small piece of dough; if it rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
- Fry 5–6 piroshki at a time for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Repeat until all are fried.
