Pierogi Burger
- dough
- 3 cups Flour
- 3 Eggs
- 8 ounces Sour Cream
- Salt
- filling
- 2 cups cooked potatoes
- 1/4 cup Chopped Onion
- 1/2 stick Butter
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- Salt and Pepper
- burger
- 20 ounces Ground Beef
- slices of jack cheese
- 3 large Onions sliced
- 1 cup Sour Cream
Instructions
- This recipe makes 4 burgers.
- To make the dough, mix the ingredients in a large bowl until combined, then pour on to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth. Wrap with plastic and set aside in the fridge.
- To make the filling, melt the butter in a frying pan and add the onions. Cook on medium low for about 10 minutes. Pour the butter mixture into a bowl with the cooked potatoes and mash them all together. Add the cheese and stir to mix.
- Cook the sliced onion in a pan with some butter on medium heat for about a half hour/45 minutes until browned.
- Roll out the dough and cut 16 burger sized rounds from it. Place a scoop of the potato mixture on half of the rounds. Place the other half on top of the first half to form the pierogi. Press the potato mixture to a uniform size and shape, and make sure to get most of the air out. Seal the pierogi on the edges with a fork.
- Bring water to a boil and cook the pierogi until they float, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from water and add to a frying pan with butter. Sear on both sides to golden brown.
- Meanwhile, form burger patties the same size as the pierogi.
- Once all the pierogi are done cooking, add the burgers to the pan and cook on high heat about 4 minutes per side to a medium doneness. Add cheese after flipping.
- Put a pierogi on a plate and place the burger on top. Add the onions and some sour cream and top with another pirogi. Serve!
