Instructions

For the dough:

1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the flour. Mix well with a whisk until smooth.
2. Gradually add the flour while kneading until the dough becomes soft and smooth, just enough to not stick to your hands. Adjust the flour if needed.
3. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for 35–40 minutes.
4. 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 potatoes:

1. Peel, cut, and rinse the potatoes. Place them in a pot, cover with water, add salt, and boil over medium heat for 30–35 minutes, until tender.
2. Drain the potatoes and mash them using a potato masher.

For the mushrooms:

1. Slice the mushrooms into pieces.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion for 2–3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and sauté for another 3 minutes.
3. Add the mashed potatoes to the pan and stir well to combine. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, then remove from heat.
4. Stir in the dill, pepper, and additional salt if needed. Mix thoroughly.

Assembling the piroshki:

1. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough disk.
2. Fold the edges over the filling and seal tightly along the seam to prevent oil from seeping in during frying.

Frying the piroshki:

1. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a deep pot. Test the oil with a small piece of dough; if it rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
2. Fry 5–6 piroshki at a time for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat until all are fried.
