Instructions
Peel and chop potatoes. Boil in salted water until fork tender, about 15 minutes.
While potatoes cook, sauté diced onion in ghee over medium heat until golden and translucent (5–7 minutes).
Drain potatoes and mash them with sour cream and sautéed onions. Season with salt. Let cool.
In a bowl, mix sour cream, milk, egg, and salt until smooth. Add flour and xanthan gum gradually. Stir to form dough.
Knead dough on floured surface until smooth and a little springy. Let rest covered for 15 minutes.
Roll dough ⅛ inch thick. Cut 3-inch rounds. Fill each round with 1–2 teaspoons of potato filling.
Fold, seal edges by pinching or with a fork.
Boil pierogi in salted water in batches until they float (about 3 minutes). Drain and dry on paper towel.
Sauté pierogi in ghee until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Serve warm.
Optional: Serve with extra ghee or sour cream for more richness.
Notes
Refrigerate cooked pierogi up to 3 days. Freeze cooked or uncooked pierogi by flash freezing first to prevent sticking. Reheat gently to maintain tenderness.
