Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, warm water, and salt. Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms, then knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
2
Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disk shape, about 1/8 inch thick.
3
In a separate bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, boiled potatoes, egg, and a pinch of salt. Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough disk.
4
Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal the dumpling. Use a fork to crimp the edges and create a decorative border.
5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and carefully add the vareniki. Cook the dumplings for 10-12 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
6
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked vareniki and pan-fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
