Instructions

  1. Make a pasta dough from flour, eggs, salt, milk and water (add slowly when kneading) and cover the dough in a bowl for 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the potatoes in their skins until cooked. Then process into mashed potatoes. Fry the onions in the sunflower oil a little darker than golden yellow on level 3 (electric stove), but do not burn. Pour hot over the mashed potatoes, stir and season with salt and nutmeg.
  3. Roll out the dough thinly and cut out circles with a large floured drinking glass. Put some filling in the middle of each circle, fold over and press the edges together firmly.
  4. Bring the water with 2 bay leaves to the boil in a large saucepan, carefully slide the vareniki into it and let it simmer for about 5 minutes over medium heat in gently boiling water until they float on top.
  5. Serve with crème fraîche.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
