Time 30m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds boiling potatoes
1/4 cup milk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Add them to the boiling water and bring the water back to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan, making sure it doesn't boil. Set aside until the potatoes are done.
  • As soon as the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Place a food mill fitted with a small disk/blade over a heatproof bowl. Pass the potatoes through the food mill, turning the handle back and forth. As soon as the potatoes are mashed, stir in the hot milk mixture with a whisk or rubber spatula. Add enough buttermilk to make the potatoes creamy. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper, and serve hot. To keep the potatoes warm, place the bowl over a pan of simmering water for up to 30 minutes. You can add a little extra hot milk to keep them creamy.

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 onion, chopped
Oil, for cooking
1 potato, boiled in its skin until tender, then peeled
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup hot water
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 chopped onion
Oil, for cooking
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the filling: Saute onions with oil in a pan until softened and brown.
  • Grate warm potato into a bowl and add the sauteed onion, salt and pepper. Mix together to evenly distribute ingredients into a mash-like mixture.
  • For the dough: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Add flour and salt to the cleaned bowl of a stand mixer and slowly mix. Add water and oil. Mix completely. Remove dough and work into a roll, then a log shape.
  • Slice a thin piece of dough and roll into a thin 4-inch round. Place 1 tablespoon potato mixture in the center of the dough circle, then fold circle into a half-moon and seal the edges. Place on the lined baking sheet. Fold over the edge of the dumpling, like a pot sticker. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to hold their shape.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add dumplings; they will rise to the top once they are finished cooking.
  • For the garnish: Caramelize onions in some oil in a frying pan until golden brown and crispy, 5 minutes. Plate dumplings and lay caramelized onions on top with salt, pepper and sour cream.

FLUFFY BUTTERMILK-MASHED POTATOES



Fluffy Buttermilk-Mashed Potatoes image

Buttermilk and a smidge of baking soda work together here to create an impossibly fluffy potato side dish. We like to finish ours with an extra pat of butter that melts into a golden pool while we set the table.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 pounds potatoes (like Yukon Gold), peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving a few tablespoons of the cooking liquid.
  • Place the potatoes in a large bowl and mash partly. Cook the buttermilk in a saucepan over low heat to just barely warm it; do not let the buttermilk get too hot or it will separate. Add it and the baking soda to the potatoes and mash completely.
  • Stir in the butter, additional salt and the pepper to taste. If you like very creamy mashed potatoes, add the reserved cooking liquid. Serve immediately.

Traditional Russian Pirozhki image

I'm Russian, and this recipe has been handed down from my grandma. They taste delicious, and are a great comfort food (or any other food).

Provided by Rex

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Rolls and Buns

Time 1h50m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups milk, warmed
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
6 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter
½ medium head cabbage, finely chopped
6 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place 1/2 cup milk in a cup or small bowl. Stir in sugar and sprinkle yeast over the top. Set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes. Pour the remaining milk into a large bowl.
  • Add the melted butter, egg, salt and 1 cup of flour to the large bowl with the milk. Stir in the yeast mixture. Mix in flour 1 cup at a time until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and doesn't stick to your hands. Cover the bowl loosely and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour. Dough should almost triple in size.
  • While you wait for the dough to rise, melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage and cook, stirring frequently, until cabbage has wilted. Mix in the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until cabbage is tender. Set this aside for the filling.
  • Place the risen dough onto a floured surface and gently form into a long snake about 2 inches wide. Cut into 1 inch pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten the balls by hand until they are 4 to 5 inches across. Place a spoonful of the cabbage filling in the center and fold in half to enclose. Pinch the edges together to seal in the filling.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line one or two baking sheets with aluminum foil. Place the pirozhki onto the baking sheet, leaving room between them for them to grow.
  • Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
