1

Break one egg into a big bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the egg and mix.

3

Add 2 tablespoons of sour cream (or French fresh) to the egg mixture.

4

Boil potatoes until tender, peel and mash them with a lot of butter, salt, and pepper.

Prepare a filling with steamed old cabbage, squeezing out excess water, and mix with cream cheese, salt, and pepper.

6

Add 1 cup of water to the egg mixture.

7

Gradually incorporate 4.5 cups of flour into the mixture using a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.

8

Knead the dough until elastic and not wet, about 5-7 minutes.

9

Cut a portion of dough and roll it out on a floured surface until thin and not sticking.

10

Use a cutter (about 2.5 to 3 inches) to cut circles from the rolled-out dough.

11

Place a spoonful of potato filling in the center of each dough circle.

12

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal tightly, ensuring they won't fall apart when boiled.

Boil the pierogi in salted water until they float, about 3-5 minutes.

Remove the pierogi and drain them.
