Bacon & Cheese Potato Piroshki
Check this out:
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (preferably made from scratch)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar is a winner)
- 6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet of active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 egg
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- First things first, let’s get that dough rolling. In a bowl, mix the warm water and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it gets all bubbly.
- In another large bowl, mix the flour and a pinch of salt. Once the yeast is ready, mix it with the flour along with the egg. Knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise for about an hour in a warm spot.
- While that dough is rising, let’s whip up that flavorful filling! In a skillet, cook the chopped onion until golden brown, then add the crumbled bacon. Mix that with the mashed potatoes and cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Set it aside.
- Once your dough has risen, roll it out onto a floured surface about 1/4-inch thick. Cut circles out of the dough (you can use a cup for this).
- Place a generous spoonful of your filling in the center of each circle, then fold the dough over and pinch the edges to seal them up tight.
- In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the piroshki until they are golden brown on each side. Don’t forget to drain them on a paper towel to soak up that excess oil.
- Serve them hot and enjoy that cheesy, bacon goodness!
