Winter pies

"... Women kneaded tight sweet dough. And everything that was alive in the huts - guys, cats, even mice - all this spun around the housewives, and the housewives slapped the guys on the back with a hand white from flour, so as not to climb into the very bowl At night, there was such a smell of warm bread with a ruddy crust, with cabbage leaves burnt to the bottom, that even foxes crawled out of their holes, sat in the snow, trembled and whined softly, thinking how to manage to steal at least a piece of this from people wonderful bread..." K. Paustovsky. Warm bread. Quote about bread - but the pies are fully consistent with the description, just with stuffing)

Winter pies - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

While cottage cheese contributes to the dough's texture, you can experiment with ricotta cheese as a substitute. Ensure it's well-drained to maintain the dough's consistency.
These pies are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
Absolutely! Simply omit the meat from the filling and replace it with more fried onions, mushrooms, or a vegetarian ground meat substitute. You can also add cooked lentils or beans for extra protein.
Use a neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil, for best results and to avoid imparting unwanted flavors to the pies.
Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature (around 350°F or 175°C) before frying. Avoid overcrowding the fryer, and drain the pies on a wire rack lined with paper towels after frying.
Yes, you can freeze the pies either before or after frying. If freezing before, place the assembled (but unfried) pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer bag. Fry them directly from frozen, adding a few minutes to the cooking time. If freezing after frying, let them cool completely before freezing and reheat in the oven for the best results.
These pies pair well with sour cream, tzatziki sauce, a spicy sriracha mayo, or even a simple tomato sauce. Experiment to find your favorite combination!
Taste and adjust the seasoning of the potato and meat filling before assembling the pies. Adding a little broth or gravy to the filling can also help keep it moist during frying.
