🧂 Ingrediente
- 750 g Potatoes(boiled and mashed)
- 250 g All-purpose flour(plus more for dusting)

👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes, flour, egg yolk, and salt. Mix until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead gently on a floured surface until smooth.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: The amount of flour may vary depending on the moisture content of the potatoes. - 2
Roll out the dough thinly (about 2-3 mm thick) on a floured surface.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Work in batches to prevent the dough from drying out. - 3
Cut out circles from the dough using a round cutter (about 7-8 cm in diameter).
- 4
Place a spoonful of crumbled bryndza in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough in half to create a semi-circle, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Ensure the edges are well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking. - 5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the pirohy into the boiling water.
- 6
Cook the pirohy for about 5-7 minutes after they float to the surface, or until tender.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Do not overcrowd the pot; cook in batches if necessary. - 7
While the pirohy are cooking, fry the diced bacon in a separate pan until crispy. Remove bacon bits and set aside, reserving some of the rendered fat.
- 8
Drain the cooked pirohy. Serve immediately, topped with fried bacon bits, a dollop of sour cream, and a drizzle of the reserved bacon fat.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Some variations include adding sautéed onions to the bacon fat before serving.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste
- ✓Use freshly mashed potatoes for the best dough consistency.
- ✓Bryndza can be quite salty, so taste it before adding extra salt to the filling or dough.
- ✓Freezing: Uncooked pirohy can be frozen on a tray until firm, then transferred to a freezer bag. Cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the boiling time.
