Boil potatoes until tender. Drain and mash them until smooth. Set aside.

Make the dough: Whisk flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the egg and warm water. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into portions. Roll out each portion thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) on a floured surface. Cut out circles using a glass or cookie cutter (about 3 inches in diameter).
💡 Pro Tips: Keep unused dough covered to prevent drying. - 7
Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough in half, pressing the edges firmly to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork or by folding them over.

💡 Pro Tips
- ✓For a richer dough, you can substitute some of the water with milk.
- ✓If the dough becomes too sticky, add a little more flour. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.
- ✓Varenyky can be frozen before boiling. Lay them flat on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the boiling time.
