Potato Vareniki

This is the kind of Russian dinner you’ll make on repeat — all-purpose flour and eggs, 70 minutes, big payoff. At 661 calories and 16g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 Eggs
• 3/4 cup Water
• 1.5 lb Potatoes
• 1 Onion
• 4 tbsp Butter
• 1/2 cup Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Dill

Steps

1. Knead the flour, egg, water, and salt into a soft dough; rest covered 30 minutes so it rolls without springing back.
2. Boil the potatoes until completely tender, then mash smooth with salt and a knob of butter — no lumps, or the filling tears the dough.
3. Caramelize the diced onion in butter until deep golden and sweet; fold half into the mash.
4. Roll the dough thin, cut rounds, and fill each with a tablespoon of potato; seal firmly, pressing out all air.
5. Boil in salted water until they float plus 2 minutes; lift out with a slotted spoon.
6. Toss with the remaining browned onions and butter; serve with sour cream and dill.
